On the morning after Germany's election, Searching for Deutschland hosts Jeremy Cliffe and Jana Puglierin were joined for a live webinar by ECFR colleagues Timo Lochocki and Janka Oertel. They discussed the results; prospects of a coalition between the CDU/CSU and SPD; likely chancellor Friedrich Merz's direction on China, the EU and the US; and the AfD and Left parties’ new “blocking minority” role, before taking questions from viewers.
This “election special” episode of Searching for Deutschland features a full recording of this morning’s webinar.
