Germany
Climate activists disrupted Friedrich Mertz's speech at the Catholic Congress due to his comments comparing German work hours to Swiss and his view on US education. The disruption was condemned by the moderator and supported by the audience. Mertz expressed admiration for America but advised against pursuing education there currently.
The available evidence does not support the claims regarding Friedrich Mertz's speech being interrupted by climate activists or his advice against pursuing education in the US. The claim about the comparison between Germany and Switzerland's work hours lacks precise figures from authoritative sources. Furthermore, there is insufficient information on the audience's reaction and the activists' specific actions.

Statistics
German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz compared Germany to Switzerland, where he claimed people work 200 more hours per year.
Evidence from LinkedIn and L&E Global suggests annual work hours are close to the range Mertz mentioned, but not exactly 200 more hours. There isn't a direct quote from Mertz or precise government statistics confirming this comparison.
