The recent collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-party coalition marks a pivotal moment for Friedrich Merz, leader of the CDU. Following the event, Merz gathers with key figures to discuss the political landscape, particularly the implications of Scholz's actions and accusations against his former finance minister. The next chancellor will face numerous challenges, including addressing national security concerns, strengthening ties with European allies, managing migration effectively, and upgrading the country's aging infrastructure. The context suggests a critical turning point in German politics that may redefine the country's trajectory.
Merz and Dobrindt, both of whom are close to Lindner, find the accusation to be below the belt.
The next chancellor must finally convince German voters that the country needs to do much more - spend far more - for their own defense.
Irregular migration must be brought under control while at the same time making the country more attractive to foreign experts.
Should he find success, he will inherit a deeply insecure country in which the political fringes, especially the right, are stronger than ever.
