Friedrich Merz is a German politician and lawyer who became the Chancellor of Germany in 2025 after his party won national elections. He leads the Christian Democratic Union, often called the CDU, which is a center-right political party. Before returning to politics, he spent years working in business and law, which shaped his economic views. He had earlier served in the German parliament and even the European Parliament. His comeback to politics surprised many people because he had stepped away for a long time. As chancellor, he focuses on economic reforms, security, and strengthening Europe’s role globally. His leadership style is often described as more conservative compared to some previous leaders.
