51:19Now PlayingOlaf Scholz’s government collapsed after months of infighting and deadlock that left him the most unpopular chancellor since German reunification. But now he’s attempting what would be a historic comeback in the upcoming elections. Why did Scholz become so unpopular? What was the interplay between the Russia’s war in Ukraine, Germany’s unfolding economic malaise, and political dysfunction? And do the emerging battles over migration and the role of the AfD in German politics provide Scholz with an opportunity to make that comeback? DW’s Richard Walker, Nina Haase and Michaela Küfner break down the Scholz years in this edition of Berlin Briefing.
