Frankfurt (Germany), April 9 (LaPresse) – The new German government "will contribute to shaping change in the world in Germany's interest." This was stated by CDU leader Friedrich Merz in a press conference to present the agreement between conservatives and social democrats. This is necessary because the "Russian aggressor" is still in Ukraine, but also because the US government has "triggered turbulence" with its tariffs, which can be followed "almost in real-time," Merz explained. He also focused on the government agreement reached between CDU-CSU and SPD. "The agreement contains a plan to move Germany forward again. It is a strong and clear signal to the citizens of our country. But it is also a clear signal to our EU partners: Germany will once again have a government capable of acting," Merz explained.
