As Germany’s far right rises, weakened Merz looks to project strength and resolve against Putin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BERLIN — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz moved to reassure allies in Europe and Kyiv that his domestic political weakness would not erode his government’s support for Ukraine as the war nears its fifth winter. The chancellor also sought to convince an increasingly wavering German electorate that it is in their direct interest for Berlin to provide military support for Ukraine — warning that failure to remain united behind Kyiv could one day invite a Russian military attack on Germany. “If we fa
Merz’s dilemma: Redraft German economic reforms, or go down defending them (opens the original)

BERLIN — Friedrich Merz faces a stark choice: Reshape the unpopular reform drive on which he has staked his chancellorship — or risk going down defending it.

Read excerpt
BERLIN — Germany’s far right is moving to turn its landslide election victory into a knockout blow against Friedrich Merz and his beleaguered conservatives — and the chancellor appears at a loss over how to respond.
