After Mr Navracsics had met Lutz Stroppe, leader of the task force for the CDU's manifesto, the leader of the parliamentary group of Fidesz held talks with German chancellor Angela Merkel, where they agreed that several common points existed between the party manifesto being written by Fidesz and that of the CDU, the main themes being social security and social market economy, a sustainable economic growth based on tax cuts and full employment, and the aim to reverse unfavorable demographic trends.

Mr Navracsics had first announced a four-month policy debate at the congress of Fidesz held in November 2006 which was then concluded this May when the party congress unanimously adopted the strategic document entitled "Jövőnk" (Our Future). The manifesto of Fidesz is currently being prepared on the basis of this paper and is to be unveiled this December.
