Chancellor Friedrich Merz Faces Challenges on Immigration and Foreign Policy

Chancellor Friedrich Merz has begun implementing policies aimed at curbing irregular immigration, a major focus of his administration. These measures include stricter border controls and enhanced cooperation with neighboring countries to prevent unauthorized crossings. Simultaneously, Merz is working to establish Germany’s position in international affairs, particularly in response to ongoing crises in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

Despite these initiatives, cracks are emerging within Merz’s government. Coalition partners are expressing disagreements over the pace and scope of immigration reforms, while foreign policy decisions are sparking debates over Germany’s role in global conflicts. These internal divisions may impact the stability of the government and the effectiveness of its policies. The situation highlights the challenges faced by Merz as he navigates complex domestic and international issues during his first 100 days in office.
