💨 Abstract

Germany's conservative Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz has cast doubt on some commitments made to secure a coalition with the Social Democrats, including lower income tax cuts and minimum wage hikes. His hints may add to dissatisfaction within the SPD, whose members must approve the coalition. Merz has seen a drop in poll ratings after the coalition agreement, which keeps the far-right Alternative for Germany out of power.
