Merz urges fast government formation: New coalition faces challenges!
Deutschland - Friedrich Merz, the new election winner and CDU boss, started the initiative and started discussions with the SPD about the formation of a new government. In a one -sided meeting with Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, essential topics were discussed, including the urgent need for a government that capable of acting to cope with the upcoming challenges such as security policy, migration and a tense economic situation. "We have to do a functioning government by Easter," said Merz after the 90-minute exchange. This situation is more critical than ever, with a weakened Federal Chancellor Scholz who has announced that he wants to lead his office "properly" until a successor is appointed, which according to Krone is unmistakably in his eyes.
critical location of the state finances
The royal disciplines of the new coalition are already emerging conflicts - especially when reforming the debt brake. In Germany, the state may only spend the money it has taken, a regulation that is laid down in the constitution. The continuing disputes over the federal budget and the lack of 25 billion euros are driving the concerns, which the former coalition of SPD, Greens and FDP ultimately broke out in November 2024, as DW reported. Merz himself expressed concerns that the loosening of the debt brake could be difficult considering the ruling parties, especially because of the blocking minority of the AfD and the left, which could block any change.
Even the possibility of a special fund for the Bundeswehr depends on a two -thirds majority in the Bundestag, while at the same time a survey shows that the majority of citizens, around 55 percent, advocate a reform of the debt brake. These serious financial difficulties require an immediate solution, because there is a lot at stake: increasing military spending, investing in the ailing infrastructure and support for Ukraine, the state treasury puts a lot of strain on. The new government therefore has a task that carries both high expectations and significant challenges while the pressure on Merz grows to make decisions quickly.
