“The world will not wait for us,” said Friedrich Mirz. But waiting is exactly what we have to do for a new alliance to take power in Berlin.

After four years of drifting and job defect, Germany strongly needs a stable, effective and ambitious government. Europe is eager to it as well. The foundations of Germany’s success after the war are disintegrated. Open markets are closed by American protectionism and Chinese state capitalism. The American security guarantee of Europe has ended while Russia is an increasing threat. A great minority in Germany loses confidence in the prevailing policy – although the estimated turnout of 84 percent on Sunday is an impressive testimony to Germany’s comprehensive commitment to the democratic process (note, JD Vance).

The struggle with these tremendous problems will be long for any government. But politics in Germany, as anywhere else in Europe is increasingly fragmented and attractive. After a bruising campaign, as the prevailing parties often focused their fire on each other, Mirz must now show that it could be interests, and it is not a clear feature. Although CDU was the clear winner and could claim the advisor, he won about 29 percent of the votes – which were regardless of the last elections in 2021, ranked first in the party since 1949. The ancestor of the midfielder Olaf Schuls was when he took over Social Democrat his position.

The easiest Merz option is a major alliance with social democrats (SPD) – but without Scholz, who rejected the service under the CDU leader. Nearly four years of failure to lead the quarrel coalition with liberal free vegetables and Democrats, Schulz was forever his party to the worst defeat in 137 years. The opposition talisman will work on SPD well, but it is present for the ruling and the Merz alternatives will be worse.

CDU and SPD should be able to agree on tax cuts, more general investment, higher defensive spending, and ClamPdown on asylum seekers. But the conversations may be long and difficult, not the least of which is that Mirz may go to the right. He issued a parliamentary movement calling for a radical migration campaign with the support of the far -right alternative to Germany, while insisting that he will never cooperate with it. It has won a few voices, as the extreme right rarely emerges, but it burns with the Social Democratic Party.

The Great Alliance deal is possible. The question is whether it will be more than the slightest common denominator. It is already in effect in three directions, given the Mile CSU, the Bavarian CDU’s brother, to independent. If they protest the support of the Greens to create a parliamentary majority, the chances of managing a coherent government and a slim organization.

Germany needs to take some radical options, such as reforming the constitutional debt brakes to liberalize public investment, finding money for continuous increases in defense spending and agreeing to grant the European Union more financial strength. Merz Tiptoed on these issues during the campaign. Only in its closing stages (thanks to the Trump administration’s embrace of AFD), the competition began in contrast to the pace of change in global affairs.

On Sunday night, when the voices were calculated, Mirz revealed what could become the task specified for his advisor. He said that his goal is to “achieve independence” from the United States, given that the Trump administration was “largely indifferent” to the fate of Europe.

It is an ambitious cellar. In theory, CDU and SPD can unite in a national emergency government, especially if the left falls in the center behind Boris Petsorius, the Minister of Popular Defense and who is falling in the outgoing coalition. But SPD may give up the necessary sacrifices and there is no guarantee of the three -third majority of Parliament to change the debt brakes.

European partners in Germany are desperate because they act boldly to revive its economy and rearm it. Unless it does so, it is not only the competitiveness of the European Union and its security that will be threatened but survived. While waiting for AFD to take advantage of the general disappointment with the ability of the surrender parties, another four years of the pickled government will end in a disaster.
