33:09Now PlayingGermany's governing parties in Chancellor Merz’ coalition just faced a moment of truth. The need for drastic reforms is hitting home in the Social Democrat SPD Party, who were dealt another electoral blow this week. At the same time the far-right Alternative for Germany now sees itself as the party of the workers. DW Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner separates the economic facts from the political drama with the Director of the German Institute for Economic Research, Marcel Fratzscher, DW Berlin Bureau Chief Max Hofmann and DW’s AfD Expert, Matthew Moore. Listen to them dissect why a regional election win for Chancellor Merz’s Conservative CDU isn’t all good news for him. Why the Social Democrats may need to make sacrifices. And how the ugly truth about the economy and social security demands political action.
