What next for Germany?
Adrian Goldberg asks 'what's next for Germany?' after an election which saw the centre-right Union alliance between the conservative CDU and the CSU takes 28% of the vote.
The CDU’s leader Friedrich Merz is in pole position to form the next government and become Chancellor but the far right AfD came second with 20% of the votes and polled especially strongly in the east of the country. Merz has talked about the need for Germany to wean itself off dependence on the US for defence.
Adrian is joined by Helena Marschall, an activist with Berlin-based environmental pressure group Fridays for Future, and Jonathan Barth is a co-founder and Senior Fellow of ZOE Institute for Future-Fit economies.
