Tyskland glipper plads i FN's Sikkerhedsråd for første gang

Forbundskansler Friedrich Merz har erkendt Tysklands nederlag i forsøget på at opnå en plads i FN's Sikkerhedsråd. Afstemningen endte i et historisk nederlag.

Merz kommenterede sagen i en kort erklæring onsdag aften. “Vi søgte med overbevisning,” og “Vi nåede ikke målet,” sagde han efter afstemningsresultatet. Tyskland, et af De Forenede Nationers vigtigste donorlande, glippede for første gang indgangen til organet. Ledende koalitionspolitikere kaldte også resultatet for et hårdt slag for forbundskansleren personligt. Oppositionen kritiserede Merz som en “udenrigspolitisk kansler” og betegnede resultatet som et nederlag. Merz havde valgt ikke at deltage i Generalforsamlingen i New York i september til fordel for budgetugen i Berlin. Tabet er en del af en række uheld i hans hidtidige tid på posten. Merz står nu over for afgørende forhandlinger om en reformpakke.
