Germany’s Merz Wants to Push Ahead Reforms After State Election Shakes Coalition

Published by Sam Flores

BERLIN, March 23 (Reuters) – German Chancellor Friedrich Merz ⁠promised ⁠on Monday to move quickly with ⁠promised reforms to tax and social security after his conservative Christian Democrats beat ​his Social Democrat coalition partners in a weekend state election. The vote in the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate saw Merz’s ‌CDU party replace the SPD that ‌had held power in the state for 35 years, giving the chancellor a personal boost but plunging his ⁠coalition partners ⁠into crisis. It was the second of five state elections Merz’s struggling coalition must ​navigate this year and there was heavy pressure on the SPD leadership following a steady slide in approval ratings that has left the party in third place behind the far-right Alternative for Germany. Merz said he recognised the difficulties the defeat ​created for the SPD but said it was important for the government to show that it ⁠was ⁠determined to carry on with ⁠reforms to restore ​Germany’s flagging economy, which has only just emerged from two years of recession. Merz has promised a major ​package of …
