Germany's domestic agenda in March was dominated by economic pressures. Friedrich Merz, leader of the CDU party, proposed a significant reform to link state pensions to an individual's total working life. Concurrently, Merz faced pressure from German industry regarding the state of the economy and was engaged with international trade issues, including proposed U.S. tariffs from President Donald Trump.
