Opposition leader Friedrich Merz (bottom), also head of Germany's conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, gives a speech during a session on November 13, 2024 at the Bundestag (lower house of parliament) in Berlin, following the breakdown of Chancellor Scholz' three-party coalition.

The agreement seeks to quickly restore political stability at a time when Europe's biggest economy is set to shrink for a second year in a row and amid heightened geopolitical volatility, with wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East and president-elect Donald Trump readying to take power in the US in January 2025
