Tag #Farewell Speeches

What are the key takeaways from the final session of the 20th German Bundestag, and what do the departures of several veteran members signify for the future of German politics?

Kevin Kühnert, a prominent SPD politician, delivered a farewell speech in the Bundestag, criticizing the increasing willingness of parties to collaborate with the AfD and urging a return to principled politics. Several other long-serving members also departed, citing a harsher political climate and increased personal attacks. The Bundestag's size will also shrink under the new electoral law.
