THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast Ep. 170: The Politics of Germany w/ Nadim and Daniel of 99 Zu Eins and the Saturday Crüe

For over a decade and a half, Angela Merkel, the leader of the conservative CDU has dominated German politics. First elected in 2005, she has served continuously as Chancellor since that time. However, following her fourth election victory in 2018, Merkel announced that she would not seek reelection and with new elections slated for September 2021, Germany is now preparing for a new post-Merkel era. How has Merkel’s tenure in office shaped modern Germany?   What issues will her successor face?   And what explains the continued weakness of the German left?   You can hear Nadim and Daniel's podcast 99 Zu Eins here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTRjcYzSUGb0UwTP1gNf1uQ   Thank you, guys, again for taking the time to check this out.
