New Administrative Regime Looming for Germany
The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), are set to form the new German government next week. The coalition, known as "the Union," will consist of ten ministries, with the CDU's Friedrich Merz taking the role of federal chancellor.
In the rest of Germany, the CSU works in partnership with the CDU, but in Bavaria, the CSU is the dominant party, with the CDU not present. The SPD, another major German party, will continue to be a part of the federal government, forming a coalition known as the "black-red" (CDU-SPD) government.
Karin Prien of the CDU will be the minister for family and education, while Katherina Reiche will take on the role of minister for economics. Alexander Dobrindt of the CSU will become the interior minister, responsible for topics such as crime and immigration.
Each minister in the federal government is assigned specific topics, ranging from the environment to economy, education, and justice. The SPD, with a focus on social issues, has important figures holding ministerial posts in the current government, including Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil.
The formation of this coalition government marks a significant event in German politics, as the parties work together to address the challenges facing the country. However, it's important to note that coalitions in the parliament can break up if the parties no longer agree, potentially leading to a new parliamentary election.
The federal government is led by the federal chancellor, who oversees the work of the ministers and ensures the smooth functioning of the government. The new government is set to start work next week, bringing about changes and developments in various sectors of German politics and society.
