Germany’s gearing up for a snap election in early 2025, and the conservative CDU/CSU bloc is leading in the polls. So, what’s at stake for German politics and transatlantic relations with the US? In this episode of DW Berlin Briefing, hosts Nina Haase and Michaela Küfner sit down with Thomas Silberhorn, a senior member of the Bundestag for the CSU, to talk through how to prepare for Trump 2.0 in the midst of a domestically turbulent period.
🔥 Key Issues: • CDU/CSU rising ahead of the 2025 snap elections • What’s next for Olaf Scholz? • What does Trump 2.0 mean for Germany? Will the conservatives take a tougher stance on Russia and Ukraine? • What does a domestically busy period mean for Germany’s NATO relations and Europe’s security posture? • How will Germany’s conservatives deal with the Ukraine crisis, including the question: would they deliver Taurus missiles?
"If we win this election, Olaf Scholz will no longer be part of a future government." – Thomas Silberhorn on the CSU’s vision for Germany.
In this candid interview, Silberhorn shares the german conservatives’ take on Russian aggression, defense, and NATO unity. He also talks about the need to rebuild Europe’s security system from scratch. Plus, we get a peek into the CDU/CSU’s election strategy.
🚨 With the German political landscape shifting fast, and with Donald Trump about to enter the White House again, Germany’s next government could seriously shape the future of the Ukraine conflict, Europe’s defense, and US-Germany relations. Will the CDU/CSU go for stronger policies, or will they hit roadblocks at home?
