SUMMARY:The First 100 Days For Germany’s New Government: A Steep Learning Curve And A Historic Shift
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Barely 100 days into office\, and Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his three-party Ampelkoalition have already made history. After 16 years of government led by Angela Merkel and the Christian Democrats\, in December a new government took over led by Olaf Scholz and the Social Democrats together with the Greens and the liberal Free Democrats. Initially\, Germany’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic\, the country’s economic recovery\, and energy policy and climate change were at the top of the political agenda. While the new government was taking form\, tensions were building with Russia over Ukraine. By the end of February\, there was a full-scale war on Europe’s doorstep. Chancellor Scholz responded by holding a historic speech at a special session of the Bundestag where he outlined a new blueprint for German foreign and security policy. But\, how has the new government fared during its first 100 days? \nJoin us on March 18 for an assessment of the new government 100 days into office with journalists Johannes Leithäuser\, Political Correspondent in Berlin for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung\, and Dr. Anna Sauerbrey\, Foreign Editor\, DIE ZEIT.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F2516475256980%2FWN_vdsmi2vbTOWFmmsEH_iaOQ|target:_blank” css=”.vc_custom_1647525739615{background-color: #1e73be !important;}”][vc_column_text]Johannes Leithäuser is Berlin Correspondent for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung\, where he covers politics. \nAfter graduating from high school\, he wanted to become a captain in the navy\, but he left after his mandatory service.
