Germany is facing enormous challenges. The political system is fragmented, extreme positions are on the rise, the economic model is being questioned, and the general sentiment is negative. Can a new government change course? There is a lot at stake for Europe in these federal elections to be held on 23 February. Without the German engine, the necessary European integration process cannot move forward.
