Friedrich Merz: Germany's new hopes of hope after the election!

Germany is all about a dramatic change of power: Friedrich Merz and the CDU/CSU emerged from the 2025 federal election as a clear winner. Merz, the bourgeois center, was able to score with convincing content and an unmistakable course, such as the Volkspartei reported. The election success is seen as a sign of the will to voters at a time that is characterized by many challenges quickly and decidedly. Christian Stocker, the federal party chairman of the People's Party, congratulated the Union and emphasized that this election victory was also an opportunity to strengthen Germany.

Way to the Chancellery

The first projections confirm the predictions of the opinion research institutes, according to which the Union with Merz moves into the Bundestag as the strongest force. In the middle of this political upheaval, the important coalition negotiations are pending. According to the Merkur , Merz is expected to inherit Olaf Scholz as a chancellor, if he successfully resolved the key questions for government formation. While Scholz does not give up his claim to the Chancellery, Merz makes it clear in his speech that he will only negotiate with partners who are willing to bring about a change of policy in migration and economic policy.

Nevertheless, the way to the Chancellery remains Steinig: The new federal government has to meet within 30 days of the election, and the specific government will only be determined weeks later. Merz has already drawn clear lines and excluded cooperation with the AfD. In view of the existing polarization, it will be a challenge for the Union to find stable coalition partners. While the political landscape is being reorganized, it remains to be seen how the negotiations are shaped and which side the upper hand is gaining.
