The coalition partners, comprising CDU, CSU, and SPD, reached an agreement on a roadmap during their last meeting in mid-June. They aim to establish consensus on reforms related to the pension system, income tax, labor market, and bureaucratic reduction before the summer recess in early July. Additionally, a session with trade unions and employers is scheduled for June 10 to further discuss these reforms. This announcement was broadcast on Deutschlandfunk on May 19, 2026.
