Germany’s election results: Continuity or turning point? 

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. 

Guests:

Janka Oertel, ECFR Asia programme director and senior policy fellow

Timo Lochocki, ECFR visiting fellow
