Friedrich Merz, a conservative leader and former rival of Angela Merkel, won the German elections, securing 28.6% of the vote for his CDU-CSU alliance. The high voter turnout of 82.5% highlighted significant public engagement. The SPD, led by Olaf Scholz, saw a significant drop to 16.4%, while the far-right AfD surged to 20.8%, marking a notable shift in German politics.
Merz, aged 69, has a background in private sector roles and advocates for stricter immigration policies and economic reforms. He has criticized American influence in Europe, aiming for greater European autonomy. His election has sparked discussions on potential changes in Germany's political direction and its relations with Europe and the US. Reactions from European leaders, such as Emmanuel Macron, reflect interest in strengthening the EU under Merz's leadership. However, concerns about his conservative policies and past remarks on LGBTQ+ issues have drawn criticism.
