Don't get your hopes up. Merz would sell his own mother if it raised his chances of getting elected. He's just listening to what's unpopular about the current government and claiming to do whatever is the exact opposite. A lot of it is just hot air from yet another populist.

I expect him to continue support for Ukraine though, so that's good at least.

Nah, he manages to solve all world conflicts by funneling his stolen billions into massive communication campaigns promoting empathy, which triggers pacific transitions to peacefull democracies in all authoritarian countries.

I'm afraid it's DLC only content, and requires a lot of macro-transactions
