Watch | Who Is Friedrich Merz? Will He Be Germany’s Next Chancellor After CDU Win?

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. #FriedrichMerz #GermanyElection #GermanChancellor #CDU #CSU #OlafScholz #GermanPolitics #ElectionResults #Merz #AfD #ImmigrationPolicy #EconomicRevival #GermanyNews #PoliticalShift #GermanyVotes #CoalitionGovernment #AngelaMerkel #CDUCSU #Bundestag #EuropePolitics Also Read PM Modi's full statement after his meeting with German Chancellor :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-s-full-statement-after-his-meeting-with-german-chancellor-3528322.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi meets German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at Rashtrapari Bhavan in New Delhi | Watch :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-meets-german-chancellor-olaf-scholz-at-rashtrapari-bhavan-in-new-delhi-watch-3528123.html?ref=DMDesc German Chancellor Scholz to arrive in India on Feb 25 on a two-day visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/german-chancellor-scholz-to-arrive-in-india-on-feb-on-a-two-day-visit-3525993.html?ref=DMDesc

The election, dominated by migration debates, saw international figures like Elon Musk and J.D. Vance weigh in.
