At OKiTALK International, Klaus Glatzel speaks with the German journalist and author Oliver Janich about the current political and social events.

Germany is in a phase of great political and social tensions. We discuss the course of Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the handling of the AfD, the trust of citizens in politics and institutions, as well as the responsibility of traditional and alternative media.

However, the view is deliberately extended beyond Germany: How is the war in Ukraine developing and what realistic chances are there for peace negotiations? How is the current situation in the Middle East and around Iran to be classified? What geopolitical interests are shaping the events?

The European Union is also facing major challenges. How credible are its institutions still? How transparent are political decisions made? And what significance does the further social and legal processing of the Corona period have – including the current civil proceedings in the Netherlands?

However, it should not only be about criticism. A crucial question of this broadcast is:

How can we, despite differing opinions, come back to a conversation and jointly seek solutions?

An open and critical discussion about Germany, Europe, war and peace, democracy, media, power, responsibility, and possible paths into the future.
