German Coalition Passes Pivotal Pension Reform Amid Political Tension
Politico Europe and the Financial Times report that Germany's parliament has approved a contentious pension reform package, ending a period of fraught negotiations within Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s fragile coalition. The bill’s passage came after young conservative lawmakers threatened to block it, citing unsustainable pension promises. However, most eventually supported the legislation to avert coalition collapse, with Merz pledging to pursue broader reforms in 2026. Analysts note that while the immediate crisis is averted, the coalition’s slender majority means tough negotiations over more comprehensive pension changes still loom.
