Germany’s famous Rose Carnival parades in Cologne and Düsseldorf 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. Is this fearless satire or pure provocation?

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.
