The new government faces an important challenge to revive the economy while Ukraine’s invasion by Russia and Trump’s erratic policies complicate European security and world trade.
Germany is planned for a new government as leaders of the country’s main center-right and left the parties signed on a coalition agreement six months after the collapse of the previous administration.
The Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and Bavaria only of the Christian Social Union (CSU) signed the government program on Monday, almost six weeks after the election of the February SNAP.
The entering government, agreed by traditional parties to isolate the extreme right alternative for Germany (AFD), which arrived second in the vote, inherits significant challenges.
CDU chief, Friedrich Merz, should be confirmed as Chancellor when the government is presented on Tuesday in Parliament, is to carry out a desire to revive the economy in difficulty of Germany – a task made most complicated by the invasion of Russia of Ukraine and the American president Donald Trump on European security and world trade.
Merz also promised to limit irregular migration in the blink of an eye to the rise of AFD, who said on Monday that he had launched a trial against his designation last week by German intelligence services as “extremists”.
The designation has aroused criticism from American officials. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described it as a “disguised tyranny”.
“Change, upheaval, uncertainty”
During the signing ceremony on Monday, Merz promised “strong, well planned and reliable governance”.
“We live in times of deep change, deep upheavals … and of great uncertainty, and that is why we know that it is our historical obligation to direct this coalition to success,” he said.
The waiting chancellor said that the entering government “is determined to advance Germany with reforms and investments” and has also promised “a government whose voice is heard in Europe and in the world”.
The Lars Klingbeil of the SPD, vice-chancellor and designated finance minister, said: “The new government has more real teamwork more than ever.”
“We want to bring Germany back to its place.”
The outgoing coalition government of Chancellor SPD Olaf Scholz collapsed on November 6, the day Trump was re -elected to the White House.
Scholz himself will not be part of the new cabinet, but will remain in Parliament as a legislator.
