The debate's aftermath suggests a potential shift in German politics. Merz's strong showing in post-debate polls, coupled with his openness to coalition possibilities, points to a potential CDU-led government. The AfD's strong showing, however, underscores the enduring influence of populist and Eurosceptic sentiments.

How do the differing perspectives on Germany's economic challenges reflect underlying disagreements about energy policy and the role of government intervention?

Germany's struggling economy, marked by two years of low growth, was a central theme. Candidates debated the causes—from the closure of nuclear plants (Merz, Weidel) to reliance on Russian gas (Habeck)—and proposed solutions such as bureaucratic reform (Merz) and investment in infrastructure (Habeck). The US VP's comments on European democracies further complicated the international landscape.

How might the rise of the AfD and BSW affect the next German government's policies toward Turkey, particularly regarding EU enlargement and migration?

The election's outcome will reshape the Turkey-Germany dynamic, particularly depending on whether the CDU/CSU forms a coalition government. A Merz-led government might prioritize transactional, short-term cooperation on issues of mutual interest, potentially downplaying human rights concerns unless directly impacting German citizens. This approach aligns with the transactional foreign policy seen under Angela Merkel.

What are the immediate consequences of the snap election on German politics and governance?

Due to the collapse of the traffic light coalition on November 6th, 2024, the German Bundestag election will be held significantly earlier than scheduled, on February 23rd, 2025. This follows a short but intense election campaign and necessitates a new election within 60 days of the Bundestag's dissolution. The main difference from a regular election is the shortened deadlines, adjusted by the Interior Ministry.

The event highlighted both cooperation and conflict. While politicians from different parties interacted cordially before and after the debate, the debate itself saw the AfD candidate making false claims about energy prices and the Ukraine conflict.
