  • The parties seeking to build a new coalition government under Friedrich Merz are making slow progress in their negotiations. Immigration and taxes are the main sticking points.

The article discusses the challenges faced by the German government in constructing a new building for the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Bonn. Initially planned to be completed by 2025, the project has encountered numerous obstacles including rising construction costs, delays due to the need for archaeological excavations, and issues with the building's design not meeting current energy efficiency standards. The costs have escalated from an estimated 100 million euros to potentially over 150 million euros. Additionally, the project has been criticized for its environmental impact and the choice of location, which is not well-connected to public transport, leading to further complications in its approval and execution. The government is now reevaluating the project's feasibility, considering downsizing or even relocating the ministry to another existing structure to mitigate costs and environmental concerns.
