Exit poll may appear decisive - but path to coalition is not clear yet
Sunday, 23 February 2025 Initial exit polls appear to confirm what we have known for weeks: that the conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) have got the most votes in the federal election, with Friedrich Merz most likely to be the next chancellor.
Tensions flared in Germany as pro-Palestinian protesters targeted the office of CDU leader Friedrich Merz, splattering it with red paint in a symbolic act of outrage. The protest followed Merz’s controversial remarks praising Israel for doing the “Dirty work” in Gaza, which drew widespread criticism from activists and rights groups. The incident highlights growing unrest in Europe over the Gaza conflict and rising backlash against political leaders seen as unconditionally supporting Israeli military actions.

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.”
