What lies ahead for the new German government?

Germany's new CDU/CSU and SPD coalition government, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, faces immediate challenges.

Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil tackles budget deficits and pension reforms amid a looming recession. Merz aims to redefine Germany's global role, establishing a National Security Council.
