Germany's new government tackles economy, far-right opposition

The new German government, a coalition of CDU, CSU, and SPD, faces significant challenges including a struggling economy and a strong far-right opposition. The new government is led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The coalition aims to strengthen the economy, limit illegal migration, and restore order, but faces internal disagreements on social policy. Key appointments include Merz as Chancellor and Lars Klingbeil as Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister. The government plans stricter border controls and increased deportations to counter the rise of the AfD. They also face economic recession, an aging population, and the need to redefine Germany's role in foreign policy.
