Abstract:

Upon taking office as chancellor in May this year, Friedrich Merz announced profound internal reforms and a strengthening of Germany's international position. However, the need for compromise within the coalition of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU), and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) limits the chancellor's effectiveness. Meanwhile, economic stagnation and the slow pace of reforms have resulted in growing public dissatisfaction with the government, which is benefiting the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).
