In an interview with German tabloid Bild, published on Sunday, Merz gave an insight into his foreign policy planning for his first days in office which is expected to start on 8 May.
“I will … immediately travel to Paris and very quickly travel to Warsaw," he said.
The incoming German leader said it was important for Berlin to “work together very well, very quickly” with the French government and to collaborate “on a par” with Poland.
I do sincerely want to congratulate him on the idea of visiting France and Poland. The article is right, Scholz fucked up in that regard. But as you say, Merz embarrassing himself is likely. I hope he meets Duda, that sounds like a fun combo.
