💨 Abstract

In Berlin, senior leaders from Friedrich Merz's Christian Democrats (CDU) and the Social Democrats (SPD) began negotiations on a coalition agreement to form a government. The CDU and SPD have been partners three times under Angela Merkel but disagree on social, environmental, immigration, and tax policies. The SPD wants tax cuts for lower-income individuals and higher taxes for the wealthy, while the CDU favors spending cuts.
