Maybrit Illner to Air Special Merz Interview Early
ZDF will broadcast a special edition of the Maybrit Illner talk show featuring Chancellor Friedrich Merz as the sole guest. Although the program is normally on hiatus for the World Cup, the broadcaster scheduled the special to avoid competing with the Austria–Spain match: it will air the evening before, on July 1 at 19:25 CET directly after the 'heute' news. The interview will address an upcoming government reform package and questions about whether proposed reforms, tax relief, burden sharing and political trust will be sufficient to revive the economy. The article was published by Uwe Mantel on DWDL.de on 2026-06-30.
