Can Friedrich Merz steer Germany out of crisis? | To the Point
Should you congratulate Friedrich Merz on his election victory – or offer condolences?? The man slated to become Germany’s next chancellor will have to deal with a slew of crises. An ailing economy, the war in Ukraine, and figuring out how Germany can ensure its own security as Donald Trump pulls the rug out from under the transatlantic relationship. All seemingly intractable problems with consequences not just for Germany and Europe, but for the world. Is Merz the man for the job?
