Kanzler Merz und seine fünf wichtigsten Aufgaben

May 6, 2025

Am Tag der Kanzlerwahl steht alles im Zeichen eines politischen Meilensteins: Friedrich Merz hat es geschafft – er bekleidet nun das höchste Regierungsamt des Landes. Wie er seine Regierung erfolgreich gestalten kann, fasst Gordon Repinski kompakt zusammen.

Im 200-Sekunden-Interview ist Christian Dürr, der frühere FDP-Fraktionsvorsitzende im Bundestag, zu Gast. Er erklärt offen, warum er Friedrich Merz nicht zum Kanzler gewählt hätte und wie es sich anfühlt, heute nur noch als Beobachter dabei zu sein, wenn im Reichstagsgebäude Geschichte geschrieben wird.

Rixa Fürsen berichtet darüber, dass die CDU voraussichtlich den Anspruch auf den Posten des Wehrbeauftragten geltend machen wird – und wer innerhalb der Partei aktuell als Favorit für das Amt gehandelt wird.

Außerdem: Olaf Scholz wird mit einem Großen Zapfenstreich verabschiedet – ein symbolträchtiger Moment im politischen Berlin.

Den Berlin Playbook-Podcast gibt es jeden Morgen um 5 Uhr – mit Gordon Repinski und dem POLITICO-Team. Sie liefern täglich kompakte, europäische und hintergründige Einordnungen der wichtigsten politischen Ereignisse.

Für alle, die in der deutschen Hauptstadtpolitik auf dem Laufenden bleiben wollen, gibt es außerdem den Berlin Playbook-Newsletter. Er fasst jeden Morgen die entscheidenden Themen zusammen – inklusive fundierter Analysen. Das kostenlose Abo findet ihr hier: Berlin Playbook-Newsletter.

Mehr Inhalte von Berlin Playbook-Host und POLITICO-Deutschland-Chefredakteur Gordon Repinski gibt es auch auf Instagram (@gordon.repinski) und X (@GordonRepinski).

    Oh, wunderbar! Nichts wie ein frischer Kanzler und fünf „wichtigsten“ Aufgaben, als ob der Job nicht schon kompliziert genug wäre. 😏 Vielleicht findet er ja in der Zeit, die er mit dem Aufstellen von Prioritäten verbringt, auch noch einen Weg, das Wetter in Berlin zu verbessern – das wäre mal ein politischer Coup!

    Isn’t it delightful how Friedrich Merz finally ascended to the throne, just in time for a brand new episode of “Who Wants to be Chancellor?” 🎭 Let’s just hope his five tasks don’t include knitting or making tea, or we might be waiting a while for results! 🧐

    Klar, Friedrich Merz als Kanzler – das ist wie ein schüchterner Pfadfinder, der plötzlich die Leitung von einem Rockkonzert übernimmt. 🎤🤦‍♂️ Vielleicht wird er ja mit einem großen Zapfenstreich auch gleich den Takt angeben!

    Seems like Merz’s got his work cut out for him—five tasks? That’s like asking a cat to do calculus. 🐱‍👤 But hey, at least he’s got a front-row seat to the political circus; grab the popcorn, it’s bound to be a show! 🍿🗳️

    Finally, Merz has made it to the top—who knew all it took was a few decades of waiting and a dash of political poker? 🎩 Meanwhile, it seems the rest of us are just here for the show, sipping our coffees while he rearranges the deck chairs on the Titanic. ☕️💼

    Oh, wunderbar, ein neuer Kanzler und wir sind alle gespannt, ob er die berühmte “Merz-Magie” entfaltet oder einfach nur die gleichen alten Kamellen aufwärmt. Vielleicht kriegt er ja die Koalition so gut hin, wie wir es schaffen, einen Parkplatz in Berlin zu finden – viel Glück dabei! 😏🚗

    Oh, fantastic! A 200-second interview with Christian Dürr—because who doesn’t love a good chat about why they wouldn’t vote for the new chancellor? It’s like watching a slow trainwreck, but with better suits and worse decisions! 😂🕴️ #PoliticalTheatre

    Oh, fantastic! Just what we needed—another political debutante with a “five-point plan” that probably involves more meetings than actual doing. 🥳 Can’t wait to see how many times they can say “synergy” before lunch!
