SUMMARY:Superwahljahr 2024: Gridlock After Elections in France? A View from Berlin
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After a poor showing in the European parliamentary election last month\, French President Emmanuel Macron called for snap elections. Although a left-wing coalition was able to stave off the far-right National Rally\, no party was able to gain an absolute majority in Sunday’s second round of elections and Macron appears to be weakened. France now faces a hung parliament. \nJoin the ACG for a virtual discussion with Jacob Ross\, Research Fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations\, on the path forward after the second round of elections in France and the future of Franco-German relations.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F8017205390860%2FWN__3KfcbbTT7SiE5bz5e6xuQ” css=”.vc_custom_1720539115911{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Jacob Ross is a Research Fellow at the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik e.V. (German Council on Foreign Relations\, DGAP)\, where he focuses on France and Franco-German relations. He initially joined the DGAP in June 2021.

He had already gained experience within the Franco-German context while working at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and during his work as a parliamentary assistant to Sabine Thillaye\, Chair of the European Affairs Committee of the French National Assembly. \nMr. Ross also received the majority of his academic training in France: first\, within a Franco-German double-degree program at the Institute of Political Science (IEP) in Lille and\, later\, at the IEP in Paris and at the Ecole nationale d’administration (Ena) in Strasbourg.

SUMMARY:Superwahljahr 2024: A Landslide for Labour in the United Kingdom – But Many Open Questions Remain
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Labour Party’s landslide victory in the UK’s general election on July 4 brought an end to 14 tumultuous years under the leadership of the Conservative Party – and five different Prime Ministers. Sir Kier Starmer and his Labour Party won 412 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons and enjoy a stable majority\, which should allow the new government to implement its agenda\, while the Tories lost 250 seats. \nVoters hope that the new Prime Minister and his party will rejuvenate the country during the five-year term it has won – and some pundits are already talking about a second term. But\, a recent report released by the Institute for Public Policy Research thinktank found that just 52 percent of UK adults took to the polls on 4 July. This is the lowest turnout by share of the population since universal suffrage was introduced in 1928. \nJoin the ACG for a virtual discussion with award-winning German journalist Annette Dittert as part of our Superwahljahr 2024 series. She has been based in London since 2008 and serves as the London Bureau Chief and Senior Correspondent of the German public broadcaster ARD. She will help us understand the election results and the path forward for the United Kingdom[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F9317210525950%2FWN_ubXgplMDQ2Oy_UF9pQ-1PQ” css=”.vc_custom_1721052627730{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Annette Dittert is the London Bureau Chief and Senior Correspondent of the German public broadcaster ARD.
