Germany's conservative bloc and the Social Democrats are in talks to form a coalition agreement. The parties have significant disagreements on social, environmental, immigration, and taxation policies. The conservatives want to expand surveillance powers and tighten asylum regulations, while the SPD wants an amnesty for certain individuals and condemns Israel's settlements policy. They also differ on energy policies and rent control. However, both parties agree on increasing government borrowing for defense and infrastructure, and on working with the EU and supporting Ukraine.
