Welcome to a seminar on the recent German governmental turmoil, a conversation between German Ambassador to Norway Dr. Detlef Wächter, and Secretary General of the Norwegian Atlantic Committee, Kate Hansen Bundt.
The German goverment plunged into turmoil last week when Chancellor Olof Scholz fired the Finance Minister Christian Lindner of the Free Democrats (FDP), leading to a collapse of the three-party coalition.
The decision followed weeks of internal tensions over the state budget, and happened only hours after Donald Trump's election victory in the US triggered uncertainty about the future of Europe’s economy and security, in particular US’ support to Ukraine.
As Europe’s largest economy and a key NATO and EU member, Germany’s internal stability is crucial not only for its citizens, but for the wider European community.
We have invited the German Ambassador to Norway, Dr. Detlef Wächter, to a conversation with Secretary General of the Norwegian Atlantic Committee Kate Hansen Bundt.
Welcome!
