AfD Rising: Can Germany's political center hold?

The Agenda

28:34

As Germany heads back to the polls for more local elections, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s grip on power is looking increasingly tenuous in the face of the rise of the far-right AfD.

Following the party’s success in Saxony-Anholt, Merz warned that there would be both national and international consequences. So in this edition of The Agenda, we examine just what those might be and what exactly this could mean for the EU’s largest economy and future foreign and migration policies.

Joining Juliet Mann this week are Ralph Schoellhammer, Head of the Center for Applied History at the MCC Budapest; journalist and commentator Matthew Karnitschnig; and Ed Turner, Co-Director of the Aston Centre for Europe at Aston University.
