International Press Luncheon: Germany Voted – What’s Next?

    • September 27, 2021

This year’s German federal election marks a turning point in German domestic and foreign politics. Over the past 16 years, Angela Merkel exerted a fundamental influence on international and transatlantic relations. In her foreign policy, Merkel consistently sought to strengthen international cooperation within the framework of the EU, NATO and the transatlantic relationship. In times of political uncertainty/instability, whether due to the financial crisis, Brexit, the migration crisis or a turbulent Trump presidency, Merkel provided a constancy. Looking ahead, what does the international stage expect from a new German chancellor? If and how will the transatlantic and international relationship change?  Just one day after the Bundestagswahl, Aspen Germany hosted a virtual press luncheon on Monday, September 27, 2021. Five journalists reporting for Germany, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Greece commented and discussed the outcome of the 2021 German federal election. The Press Luncheon aimed to review the potential coalitions as well as the chancellorship and their possible effects on international and transatlantic cooperation. We are delighted to have welcomed the following speakers: Melissa Eddy, The New York Times; Cécile Boutelet, Le Monde; Tom Nuttal, The Economist; Jasper von Altenbockum, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Aspen Germany’s Executive Director Dr. Stormy-Annika Mildner moderated the virtual panel. The recorded discussion is available on Youtube:
