Summary
Germany's CDU/CSU-SPD coalition, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, has agreed on a 34-measure reform package after seven hours of talks. The sweeping reforms include income tax cuts for low- and middle-income families, an overhaul of the pension system, and stricter sick leave rules. The package aims to revive Germany's sluggish economy, cut bureaucratic red tape, and protect the welfare state, while also countering the rise of the far right.
