Germany’s Friedrich Merz Secures Chancellor Seat in Dramatic Second Round Reversal; AfD Furious

Friedrich Merz has secured the chancellorship of Germany in a dramatic second-round vote, overcoming a shocking first-round defeat earlier in the day. With 325 votes in his favor, Merz surpassed the required 316 majority, averting a constitutional crisis. His unexpected first-round loss, which marked the first time in postwar history a chancellor candidate failed to win, had sent shockwaves through German politics. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has expressed outrage at Merz’s victory, demanding his resignation and calling for fresh elections. #FriedrichMerz #MerzForChancellor #CDULeader #GermanyElections #MerzLive #FriedrichMerzSpeech #ChancellorMerz #GermanyPolitics #FriedrichMerzCDU #Merz2025 #WhoIsFriedrichMerz #FriedrichMerzInterview #GermanyChancellorRace #MerzAnnouncement #MerzVsAfD #Germany ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~

Germany in Turmoil | Friedrich Merz Fails To Become Chancellor In Embarrassing Parliamentary Defeat

In a stunning and unprecedented setback, Germany's conservative leader Friedrich Merz has failed to secure the majority needed to become chancellor in the first round of parliamentary voting — missing by just six votes. The defeat marks the first time since World War II that a chancellor candidate has fallen short on the initial ballot. As political uncertainty grips Berlin, coalition talks intensify and fresh elections loom as a possibility. The failed bid comes amid economic stagnation, the far-right AfD’s rise, and global pressure on Germany’s next leader. #FriedrichMerz #MerzForChancellor #CDULeader #GermanyElections #MerzLive #FriedrichMerzSpeech #ChancellorMerz #GermanyPolitics #FriedrichMerzCDU #Merz2025 #WhoIsFriedrichMerz #FriedrichMerzInterview #GermanyChancellorRace #MerzAnnouncement #MerzVsAfD

Russia’s CHILLING warning to Germany | ‘Will face BIG RISKS if Supplying Taurus Missiles to Ukraine

Russia has issued a stark warning to Germany over its decision to lift restrictions on supplying long-range weapons to Ukraine. Moscow’s Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu threatened a “massive response” if Germany delivers Taurus missiles, calling it a move that risks direct war. Following Zelensky’s meeting with Chancellor Merz, speculation grows around German involvement. While Germany promises support in developing Ukraine’s missile capability, Russia labels the move dangerous and provocative, with some warning it could ignite a wider conflict. #RussiaGermanyTensions #TaurusMissiles #UkraineWar #GermanyAidToUkraine #ShoiguWarning #Zelensky #ChancellorMerz #GeopoliticalCrisis #LongRangeWeapons #MilitaryEscalation #RussiaThreat #WorldWarRisk #UkraineDefense #TaurusDebate #RussianWarning #BerlinMoscowTensions #UkraineSupport #WeaponSupply #NATOConcern #GermanyInFocus #EastWestTensions #ShoiguStatement #ZelenskyVisit #MissilePolitics #RussiaUkraineWar #GermanyUkraine #PutinWarning #EscalationRisk #ThirdWorldWar #Geopolitics Also Read Germany: Knife Attack At Train Station In Hamburg City, 12 Injured, 3 Critical :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-knife-attack-at-train-station-in-hamburg-city-12-injured-3-critical-4162369.html?ref=DMDesc Germany Backs India’s Right To Self-Defence After Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-backs-india-s-right-to-self-defence-after-pahalgam-terror-attack-4162141.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

NATO’s Big Message to Moscow | NATO DEMANDS 40,000 More German Troops As Russia Threat Grows

NATO is expected to formally request Germany to contribute seven additional brigades—around 40,000 troops—as the alliance raises its military readiness goal to 130 brigades, a sharp increase from the current 80. The demand comes ahead of a major defense ministers' summit, amid growing concerns over Russian aggression. Germany has already pledged ten brigades by 2030 but now faces fresh pressure. NATO calls the new benchmarks “ambitious,” while Berlin prepares a ninth brigade for Lithuania. The expanded goals follow U.S. calls for allies to boost defense spending and military capabilities urgently. #NATO #Germany #MilitaryReadiness #DefenseSpending #RussiaThreat #UkraineWar #TroopIncrease #GermanArmy #GlobalSecurity #MilitaryNews #Geopolitics #TrumpNATO #BrigadeBoost #NATO130Brigades #MilitaryAlliances #LithuaniaDeployment #WarPrep #DefenseBudget #RuttePlan #NATOExpansion Also Read Germany: Knife Attack At Train Station In Hamburg City, 12 Injured, 3 Critical :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-knife-attack-at-train-station-in-hamburg-city-12-injured-3-critical-4162369.html?ref=DMDesc Germany Backs India’s Right To Self-Defence After Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-backs-india-s-right-to-self-defence-after-pahalgam-terror-attack-4162141.html?ref=DMDesc Over 3400 Flights Cancelled, Thousands Of Passengers Stranded Due To German Airport Association Workers' Strik :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/over-3400-flights-cancelled-thousands-of-passengers-stranded-due-to-german-airport-association-work-4092803.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

Russia Set to BOMB Berlin Over Germany's 'TAURUS' Support to Ukraine | Could Merz Start WWIII?

Speculation is rising after Ukrainian President Zelensky met German Chancellor Merz to discuss acquiring German-made Taurus missiles—highly lethal, long-range weapons capable of striking deep into Russia. Ukraine faces challenges operating this advanced technology without German support, which could delay deployment by years. If used soon, Moscow may accuse Germany of direct involvement, risking Russian retaliation including deployment of Oreshnik strike complexes. Russian media warns Germany against provoking escalation that could spark a wider conflict. #Zelensky #ChancellorMerz #TaurusMissiles #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #GermanSupport #MilitaryAid #WarEscalation #LongRangeWeapons #OreshnikStrike #RussianRetaliation #UkraineDefense #Geopolitics #GermanyUkraine #RussiaConflict #MissileTechnology #WarStrategy #ConflictWatch #DefenseNews #GlobalSecurity #MilitaryTensions #WarUpdates #ThirdWorldWarRisk #RussiaWarnings #GermanyInvolvement #TaurusProgram #UkrainianMilitary #EuropeanSecurity #DefenseTalks #WarAnalysis #InternationalRelations ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.194~
