Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Germany's 'freedom is being threatened' AFP Germany will need sweeping change to remain free and prosperous, Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned Wednesday, calling on the country to unite in the face of Russian aggression, economic woes and rising extremism. "We all have to agree on where our country stands and where our country wants to go in coming years," the conservative Merz told parliament, promising an "autumn of reforms". Addressing Russia's war in Ukraine and Moscow's hostility towards NATO and the European Union, Merz, who has vastly stepped up German defence spending, said that "our freedom is being threatened".
