Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Merz struck a forceful tone in the aftermath of the election, and we believe that this is a major plus for the EU.
50% : Merz is not as charismatic as Macron but has broadly the same beliefs and pro-EU conviction.
33% : One is to vote in a change to the debt brake (difficult given parliamentary arithmetic - there is talk of doing it in this parliament), declare an emergency 'event' that merits high spending as was the case with COVID and it will be argued that President Trump has created a crisis.
