In a juncture politician and social Challenges, Chancellor Friedrich Mertz gave his established * summer interview * in Berlin, seeking to emit a picture of control and confidence. Despite his efforts, however, the reality reflected in Germany’s political horizon seems clearly more complex.

Brigade Challenges: Trust Crisis and Intra -Government Tricles

Mertz’s turnout earlier than the Bundespressekonferenz room scheduled for his intention to manage a series of “difficult” questions with a sovereignty. The debate focused primarily on the recent * failures of the government * to elect constitutional judges, against the backdrop of the Christian Union’s objections to the candidacy of the Frauses Brosius-Gersdorf, promoted by the Social Democrats. Despite the obvious signs of intra -government malfunctions, the Chancellor has attempted to downgrade the tension: as he said, this is a “process” expected to be corrected in September, with * better consultation * and preparation. However, he avoided openly committing to the support of Brosius-Gersdorf in the next vote, stating that he would vote as a “mere MP”.

The issue is not only about the personal defeats of Friedrich Mertz – two loud plenary failures in a short period of time – but also the resistance of the fragile government coalition. ‘There is no judgment, it’s a situation that could have gone better“, He stressed, seeking to highlight the * positive results * of government work and ambitious goals: recovery after years of recession and strengthening the German Armed Forces at a record level for Europe.

International Footprint: Refugee Position and Crisis of the Age

At the international level, Chancellor pointed out the “fundamental differences” between the war in the war in Middle East and the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. He reiterated Germany’s support for Israel, though not *”unconditionally” *, as the reflection on the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains. For the Ukrainian, she underlined the importance of the 18th package of sanctions against Russia in the EU and criticized Slovakia for its stance and the EU itself for time -consuming decision -making processes. At the same time, he talked about the crimes of Moscow, describing Russia’s war in Ukraine as “opposite to international law”.

Inside, the immigration remains at the top of the agenda, with Merz emphasizing the need for “border controls of limited time”, avoiding going into details of court rulings that question the policy of cruelty at the border and insisting on the rationale of deportations. He acknowledged, regarding Angela Merkel’s well -known saying *”we will do it” *for the refugee, that *”today we obviously know that we have not succeeded” *.

Political uncertainty and future

With the summer being strong in developments, the Chancellor has informed that he would leave for a few days vacation, but assured that until then the government is continuing intensively. At the same time, the shadow of his predecessor, Angela Merkel, remains distinct, and she left for a vacation as soon as Mertz’s interview was over.
