From DW News.
Who are the power brokers in the new German government? DW’s Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner breaks down who Friedrich Merz has chosen for his new cabinet. Together with DW’s Chief Political Correspondent Nina Haase she analyses how Foreign Minister Wadephul and incoming Trade Minister Katherina Reiche fit into Merz’ government picture. Special guest is Johannes Winkel, leader of the youth organization of Merz’ Conservative CDU party. He has warned Merz that unless he delivers more for younger voters, he risks them breaking free from the generational contract that underpins the German pension system.
