💨 Abstract

Germany's election winner Friedrich Merz aims to swiftly form a government to revive the economy, increase defense spending, and address diplomatic issues such as the Ukraine war and U.S.-German relations. Merz's conservative bloc requires a coalition partner for governance, and negotiations with the Social Democrats (SPD) may take months. A 'grand coalition' is expected.
