German deal to form Merz government brings end to months of stalemate

^{Published on 2025-04-28 07:21:06 - BBC}

Germany's conservatives under Friedrich Merz reach a deal with the Social Democrats to govern Europe's biggest economy.

The article from AOL News discusses the formation of a new government in Germany led by Friedrich Merz, following a coalition agreement between his Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Free Democratic Party (FDP). The deal, which was finalized after weeks of negotiations, aims to address key issues such as economic recovery, climate change, and digitalization. Merz, who has promised to bring stability and innovation to German politics, will serve as Chancellor, while the FDP's Christian Lindner will take the role of Finance Minister. The coalition agreement also includes plans for tax reforms and investments in infrastructure, signaling a shift towards more business-friendly policies. This new government marks a significant change in German politics, as it ends the era of Angela Merkel's leadership and introduces a fresh approach to governance.
