Friedrich Merz, în pericol. Bruxellesul își face planuri pentru o Germanie fără cancelar

Following a series of electoral defeats and internal coalition conflicts, European partners are preparing for the possibility of German Chancellor Merz being ousted or distracted by domestic issues. Two European governments have even simulated scenarios regarding the implications of Merz's potential departure for EU decision-making. Merz leads the EU's largest economy and is a key negotiator for budget discussions. However, his internal political weakness complicates Germany's role in crucial EU matters. While a leadership change is unlikely in the short term, Merz's need for a political victory may push him to adopt a hardline stance in negotiations. The internal disputes within his coalition have already affected Germany's position on significant issues, including environmental policies and social media regulations for children. The ambassador to the EU emphasized the need for unity in Germany and Europe during challenging times.
