At first, only ministers from the ranks of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian ally, the Christian-Social Union (CSU), were made public, upstream of the Congress in reduced format of the CDU, which was held Monday afternoon and during which the delegates massively approved the coalition contract negotiated between CDU-CSU and Party Social Democrat (SPD).<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph  \">Tradition wants that each of the parties making up the coalition calls its ministers according to their own agenda. The SPD will make its own known in the coming days, after activists have approved the coalition contract during a ballot which is due to end on Tuesday evening. The entry into office of the new government is set for May 6, when Friedrich Merz will officially succeed Olaf Scholz (SPD) as Chancellor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph  \">The balance of the parties of the coalition is reflected in the distribution of portfolios: seven federal ministers come from the CDU, and will notably manage the economy and foreign affairs, three of the CSU, which recovers the interior and research, and seven of the SPD, which will in particular have the hand on finances, defense and work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"reading-mode-only \"><strong>You have 75.63% of this article to read.
