Small businesses will not face tax hikes according to Merz's stance

The Interior Minister, Dobrindt, was present at the Open Day of the Federal Government, fielding questions from various sources. One of the topics that garnered significant attention was the admission of Afghans, a matter that Dobrindt defended staunchly.

Amidst the bustle of the Open Day, the question of who might succeed President Steinmeier in 2027 also surfaced. While no official decision has been made, CDU leader Friedrich Merz expressed his support for electing a woman as the first female Federal President of Germany. CDU Secretary General Carsten Linnemann also considered a female candidate a positive signal, though the exact individual has yet to be determined.

However, the political landscape in Germany is not without its challenges. The coalition is currently experiencing disagreements over key issues, with the admission of Afghans being one such point of contention. The escalation of these disputes in the fall remains uncertain.

The term of office for President Steinmeier ends in 2027, leaving a vacancy that needs to be filled. Yet, the identity of his successor is still undecided.

In the midst of these political developments, the possibility of Friedrich Merz running for federal president in 2027 has been brought up, but no concrete information has been confirmed regarding his candidacy. Similarly, the potential discomfort that could arise due to the escalation of coalition disputes in the fall has not been confirmed either.

As the Open Day concluded, it was clear that the future of German politics is shrouded in uncertainty, with many questions yet to be answered.
