Germany's governing parties in Chancellor Merz’ coalition just faced a moment of truth. The need for drastic reforms is hitting home in the Social Democrat SPD Party, who were dealt another electoral blow this week. At the same time the far-right Alternative for Germany now sees itself as the party of the workers. DW Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner separates the economic facts from the political drama with the Director of the German Institute for Economic Research, Marcel Fratzscher, DW Berlin Bureau Chief Max Hofmann and DW’s AfD Expert, Matthew Moore. Listen to them dissect why a regional election win for Chancellor Merz’s Conservative CDU isn’t all good news for him. Why the Social Democrats may need to make sacrifices. And how the ugly truth about the economy and social security demands political action. 00:00 Intro 01:55 German Depression 04:00 Social Democrat blues 06:35 A new Reform Agenda? 09:21 Who wants sacrifices? 11:03 AfD double results 12:51 Moral Economy breakdown 15:07 AfD voters’ fears 16:51 AfD = libertarian? 20:01 Agenda 2010 reloaded? 21:18 Plugging budget holes 23:49 Could political heads roll? 26:01 Germany’s most popular politician 28:12 Getting rid of red lines 30:51 The three big reforms 32:06 End DW Berlin Briefing on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dw-berlin-briefing-inside-german-politics/id1775699172 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07Wp4c6w9qVIYmB7JIbFBZ Subscribe Berlin Briefing Newsletter: https://corporate.dw.com/en/newsletter-registration/a-15718229 For more news go to: https://www.dw.com/en/top-stories/s-9097 Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews/►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/►Twitter: https://x.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1 #dwgermanpolitics
