Evaluating the German Elections Results

The coalition of Social Democrats (SPD), Free Democrats (FDP) and Greens ruling Germany since 2021 collapsed in November 2024. With the election results now in, it is time to consider the possible coalition constellations, tease apart the key themes driving voters, and to analyse possible shifts in voting behaviour. Germany is the EU´s largest economy and most influential member state. For the Nordic countries, it is a key partner in trade and security politics. Thus, the outcomes matter not only for the German population and the country´s economy but also for the future of the European Union, Ukraine, and Northern Europe. To evaluate and discuss the outcome and its consequences for Northern Europe and the EU, the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung-Nordic countries invites you to a roundtable discussion.
