There are fairly big ideological differences between Merz and Merkel, especially when it comes to immigration. I don't think there would be many Syrians in Germany today if Merz had been in power in 2015.

seven of those years were governed by CDU+SPD the same Coalition (just not with Angela Merkel as chancellor) as it is now again...
