The German election has positioned Friedrich Merz as the chancellor-in-waiting, a crucial juncture as Europe faces heightened security threats, especially given the shifting dynamics with the U.S. and Russia. Merz’s ability to form a coalition amid a surging far-right AfD complicates his governance prospects. His hardline stance on migration may influence his political standing. Concurrently, the EU is working on the Clean Industrial Deal to ensure the continent remains green and competitive, as highlighted by discussions in Antwerp with key European leaders.
Germany's recent election results pave the way for Friedrich Merz as chancellor-in-waiting, amidst rising security concerns and a growing far-right opposition.
The success of Germany's far-right AfD party poses challenges for Merz, especially in terms of coalition-building and addressing migration policies moving forward.
