34:33Now PlayingFriedrich Merz, Germany’s likely next chancellor, has stirred up political waters with his bold "whatever it takes" stance. In a massive shift, Merz and the Social Democrats have jointly announced a plan to rearm Germany, heavily invest in infrastructure, and break away from the notorious "debt brake" to finance these projects. But will this "defense and infrastructure bazooka" get approval? What will it mean for Germany’s future? In this episode of DW Berlin Briefing, we break it all down with expert insights from Ralph Bollmann, political editor at FAZ Sunday, and Benjamin Hilgenstock from the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP).
