Some of the areas the talk addressed, were:

• Do ‘too many cooks spoil the broth’? The three party ‘traffic light’ coalition
• The new focus on defence policy after 30 years of the peace dividend
• An ecological transformation to meet ambitious climate goals
• Do Germans rue the day they voted the Scholz coalition in?
• The impact of these changes on the economy, trade, and business environment
