The Guardian sees the new German coalition government already in crisis.
The larger partner, the CDU was obliged to enter into compromises with the smaller SPD. Both agreed on a policy program that would, in particular, not please the voters of the CDU.
Candidate Merz has promised to his voters so many things which he immediately has thrown over board and he broke his main promises.
In particular, he promised not to increase the constitutional debt level. He promised a turn around for immigration. Etc. Merz’ basis in the CDU is very unhappy, many resigned from the party membership.
And the AfD has surpassed the CDU in current polls which means that CDU and SPD have no majority to govern if elections were held now.
