33:09Now PlayingTwo major political developments are shaking up Germany. First, the domestic intelligence agency has officially categorized the far-right AfD party as a right-wing extremist group, citing evidence that it works against the country’s constitution. What could this mean for the future of the party? Could a legal ban be on the horizon? DW’s Nina Haase dives deep into the implications with AfD observer Matt Moore. Meanwhile, Germany finally has a new chancellor—but Friedrich Merz’s election wasn’t smooth sailing. For the first time since World War II, a German chancellor needed two rounds to secure victory. Why did this happen? What does it mean for the stability of his government? Political analyst Bernd Riegert helps break it all down.
