Friedrich Merz is to be put up for election as Germany's Chancellor today. He has vowed to be the most pro-European chancellor in recent history. But do Germans care?

Friedrich Merz is set to be sworn in as the new leader of Europe's biggest economy on Tuesday. In the run-up to the vote in the Bundestag, we asked Euronews reporter in Berlin, Zara Riffler, what Germans are expecting from their new leader, and how his focus may be elsewhere.

We also look at high-level discussions on how to ensure sustainable supplies of raw materials, which form the basis of Europe’s economy. Finally, could Canada become the 28th EU member state?

This episode of Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Lauren Walker, with journalist Maïa de la Baume. Audio editing was by David Brondheim. Music by Alexandre Jas.
