Friedrich Merz kunne næppe have valgt et mere urovækkende tidspunkt at blive Tysklands kansler på. Verden omkring ham er præget af kriser og stormagtskonflikter: Et Rusland, der synes mere overbevist end nogensinde om, at det kan udslette Ukraine som stat; et Israel, der er villig til at udrydde sine fjender – koste hvad det vil – og en amerikansk præsident, der i stigende grad virker ude af kontrol.

Every day it seems Berlin’s main roads are blocked off as the motorcades speed through. Perhaps it’s my imagination, but the number of world statesmen coming here seems more than usual.

Few world leaders have taken up the job so late in life yet have so little experience. Few can have won an election and been so unpopular even on victory. Few can have faced the enormity of the challenges that Friedrich Merz faces with so little confidence among his citizens that he can meet them. Germany’s 10th postwar chancellor is only weeks into office, but judgments were being made about him even before he took over.
