Rising Forces in Germany: What’s Next for Europe?

Germany’s upcoming parliamentary elections on February 23rd may be the most consequential in a generation. With traditional parties losing support and new political forces gaining momentum, the country’s political landscape is shifting. This discussion will explore the concerns about neo-Nazism within Alternative for Germany (AfD), the broader implications for European integration, and the impact on Germany’s foreign relations—including its ties with the Trump administration, Russia, and China. We will also discuss the role of social media platforms like Elon Musk’s X in shaping political discourse in Germany and Europe.

Leading this discussion is Roman Blagoveščenskij, who has a master’s degree in European politics and a strong interest in Germany’s political landscape. Originally from Lithuania and currently working at Google in Singapore, Roman has been following European affairs closely and will share insights on what these elections mean for Germany and beyond. Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation on one of the most significant elections in recent European history.
