Merz highlighted the necessity of upcoming reforms, particularly in the healthcare, pension, economic, and tax sectors, to ensure that hard-working citizens see tangible benefits. The ruling coalition of CDU, CSU, and SPD aims to implement these reforms before the summer recess, although specific proposals remain contentious among coalition partners.
