Germany updates: Merz says Berlin back with voice in Europe DW 05/09/2025
Briefly

Chancellor Friedrich Merz's recent discussions with key EU and NATO leaders in Brussels signal Germany's renewed commitment to its role in Europe. Following criticisms of previous leadership, Merz emphasized the importance of Germany's voice in EU policy, promising active participation moving forward. His meetings with notable figures like Ursula von der Leyen and NATO's Mark Rutte mark significant steps in re-establishing German influence on the European stage. Concurrently, the Left Party pushes for acknowledgment of its parliamentary strength as the government navigates socio-political challenges ahead.
Under my leadership, Germany's voice in Europe will be heard again. We are ready to take charge and ensure Germany fulfills its role in the EU.
We expect the new government to take us seriously when addressing the issues at hand, particularly in social interests. Collaboration will be key moving forward.
