Watch | Who Is Friedrich Merz? Will He Be Germany’s Next Chancellor After CDU Win?

Friedrich Merz is set to become Germany’s new chancellor after his CDU/CSU bloc secured 28.5% votes, defeating Olaf Scholz’s SPD. Merz, a longtime conservative leader, vows to revive Germany’s economy and impose stricter immigration policies. His political career saw setbacks under Angela Merkel, but he staged a strong comeback in 2022. With AfD securing 20.7% votes, coalition talks are crucial. Born in 1955, Merz has a legal background and extensive experience in finance. His next challenge? Forming a stable government to lead Germany through economic and political challenges. #FriedrichMerz #GermanyElection #GermanChancellor #CDU #CSU #OlafScholz #GermanPolitics #ElectionResults #Merz #AfD #ImmigrationPolicy #EconomicRevival #GermanyNews #PoliticalShift #GermanyVotes #CoalitionGovernment #AngelaMerkel #CDUCSU #Bundestag #EuropePolitics Also Read PM Modi's full statement after his meeting with German Chancellor :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-s-full-statement-after-his-meeting-with-german-chancellor-3528322.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi meets German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at Rashtrapari Bhavan in New Delhi | Watch :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-meets-german-chancellor-olaf-scholz-at-rashtrapari-bhavan-in-new-delhi-watch-3528123.html?ref=DMDesc German Chancellor Scholz to arrive in India on Feb 25 on a two-day visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/german-chancellor-scholz-to-arrive-in-india-on-feb-on-a-two-day-visit-3525993.html?ref=DMDesc

Germany Unleashes Ruthless Mockery on Trump, Putin, Far-right with Outrageous Carnival Floats

Germany’s famous Rose Carnival parades in Cologne and DĂŒsseldorf took political satire to the next level, featuring giant floats mocking world leaders like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The parade also took aim at the far-right AfD party, the Ukraine war, and even the Catholic Church, sparking backlash. While many celebrated the bold satire, others found it controversial. Security was heightened due to recent terror attacks, but revelers still flooded the streets in massive numbers.

Trump Slams EU’s Tariff Proposal as ‘Very Bad’, Cites Car Ban, Slaps 20% Tariffs on Industrial Goods

President Donald Trump has rejected the European Union’s "zero-for-zero" tariff proposal for industrial goods, calling it "very, very bad." Trump argued that the EU restricts U.S. cars and agriculture, and retaliated by imposing a 20% tariff on European exports. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned of countermeasures if talks collapse. As tensions escalate, EU stock markets tumbled, with Germany’s DAX and the UK’s FTSE 100 suffering heavy losses. The standoff risks disrupting transatlantic trade worth over €1 trillion annually, threatening global economic stability. #Trump #EUTrade #TariffWar #TradeTensions #USPolitics #DonaldTrump #EuropeanUnion #TradeDeficit #ZeroTariff #Cars #USvsEU #GlobalMarkets #VonDerLeyen #USExports #TariffNews #Protectionism #BreakingNews #EUReaction #IndustrialTrade #TrumpTariffs Also Read Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Visits Kennedy Center to Shape the Future of National Arts and Culture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-visit-kennedy-center-arts-institution-011-4097567.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.344~HT.408~
