German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has carried out a cabinet reshuffle involving changes in key government positions, aimed at strengthening the performance of the ruling coalition ahead of the upcoming regional elections, which may see the right-wing populist "Alternative for Germany" party win in one of the states. The reshuffle focused on appointments within the Chancellor’s Office and the Ministry of Health, including the appointment of Nina Varken as head of the Chancellery and developments in the nursing care system, along with other appointments intended to improve government coordination. This comes amid declining popularity for Merz and diminished government performance, alongside increasing support for right-wing populist parties. The changes follow the resignation of Jens Spahn, leader of the Christian Democratic Union parliamentary group, who stepped down amid controversy over his having a child through surrogacy—a procedure banned in Germany.
