## Resource

Chancellor Friedrich Merz is pulling off a high-stakes government reshuffle as approval ratings slump and regional elections loom — with a far-right party poised to win its first governorship. The move, incomplete and vague, risks looking chaotic rather than strategic, fueling doubts about his control and ability to rally support. All eyes are on whether this shake-up sparks real momentum or just rearranges the same old deck chairs — and the public’s reaction could make or break his political comeback.
