Ahead of Germany’s elections, DW’s political team discuss the big issues dominating the campaign. Hear why the man with the best chances of becoming the next chancellor, conservative CDU leader Friedrich Merz, isn’t as tough on immigration as he sounds. Why the far-right Alternative for Germany is striking a more radical tone. Why the Greens have gone from pacifists to becoming Ukraine’s tightest allies. And why current Chancellor Olaf Scholz is sure he’ll stage a remarkable comeback against the odds. DW’s Chief political editor Michaela Küfner pushes her colleagues Nina Haase, Matthew Moore and Giulia Saudelli to bet their reputation on predicting the outcome of the most consequential elections this year.
