German Chancellor Friedrich Merz faced sharp criticism in the Bundestag on Wednesday after opposition lawmakers highlighted his low approval ratings and questioned public confidence in his government. AfD lawmaker Leif-Erik Holm compared Merz’s reported 16% approval rating with that of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, arguing that Germans had lost trust in the coalition. Merz rejected calls to step down, saying his government remained committed to addressing Germany’s economic challenges and improving competitiveness. The exchange comes as recent polls show declining support for both Merz and the CDU/CSU-SPD coalition amid concerns over the country’s economic outlook and reform agenda.
