Berlin Germany
Merz was booed for 15 minutes during a speech at the German Trade Union Association. Alice Weidel criticized the German government for spending on foreign wars. Sarah Wagenknecht compared Merz's unpopularity to the SED at the end of the GDR and forewarned of Germany's future if Merz remains in power with Klingbeil.
The claims regarding Merz being booed and his unpopularity are supported by several sources. However, the claim about the German government spending 'endless billions on foreign wars' lacks corroborative evidence and is misleading. Additionally, the statement comparing Merz's government to the SED and predictions about Germany's future are subjective opinions and predictions, respectively, which can't be fact-checked as true or false.

Merz's government is as unpopular as the SED was at the end of the GDR.
This is a subjective opinion claim comparing current political unpopularity to historical events. Surveys suggest Merz is unpopular, but such historical comparisons rely on subjective criteria.
