## Resource

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is pulling out all the stops with a bold leadership shakeup, naming Nina Warken — the first woman to lead his chief of staff — as part of a strategic push to revitalize his faltering government ahead of crucial September state elections. Facing plummeting approval ratings, economic headwinds, and a surging far-right AfD, Merz is betting on assertive, reform-minded leadership to restore public confidence. While he’s also eyeing a transport minister replacement, the political stakes are high: can this reshuffle turn the tide or just deepen the chaos?
