On 26 February, Visegrad Insight hosted a closed-door breakfast to discuss the German election results and their impact on Europe.
Held just days after the election, the event examined the implications of Germany’s upcoming CDU-SPD coalition government, led by Friedrich Merz.
Sebastian Płóciennik, Managing Director and Board Member of the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation, opened with a briefing on Germany’s economic outlook.
The discussion covered key economic challenges, the state of democratic security amid rising AfD support, and the future of German industry and trade under the Trump administration.
