Merz is assertive and used to facing opposition, Svenska Dagbladet puts in: “Tuesday's start is seen as a bad omen. But Merz is known for never giving up. It took him three attempts to be elected party leader, he disappeared from politics after a conflict with Angela Merkel, only to return ten years later, and he is now at the pinnacle of German politics. People expect Merz to try to turn the situation to his advantage now.
