Chancellor candidate from the conservative CDU/CSU bloc (Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union) Friedrich Merz announced his intention to form a new German government by Easter (celebrated on April 20).
"I have a desire that we complete the formation of the government no later than Easter," he quotes n-tv.de .
Early elections to the Bundestag were held on February 23. According to preliminary data, the CDU/CSU is in the lead on them, gaining. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has already congratulated Merz on his victory.
The second place is occupied by the ultra—right Alternative for Germany (AfD), the third by the Social Democratic Party (SPD).
The winning party will have to form a ruling coalition. The political forces of Germany had previously refused to cooperate with the AfD, so its chances of entering the future government are reduced to zero. At the same time, it may become the second largest force in the Bundestag.
