💨 Abstract

Friedrich Merz, a contender for German chancellor, failed to win in the first round of voting in parliament, raising doubts about the new government's ability to revive Europe's largest economy. Merz was expected to address issues like stagnant growth, squabbling over budgets, and bureaucracy. His election win seemed promising, but the failed vote has weakened his credibility and may make it harder to implement his economic proposals.
