New election in Germany 2025: The Germans go to election

On Sunday, Germany holds a choice for the Bundestag, after a long period of domestic political turbulence. The choice is made in the midst of a serious security policy situation for Europe, which has been shaken by being excluded from the negotiations on Ukraine.

Christian Democrats party leader Friedrich Merz is tipped to become new Chancellor of Social Democrat Olaf Scholz, but it is not yet clear which government coalitions may be possible after the election.

SVT’s Aktuellt will be broadcast tonight from Germany. Among the participants are European correspondents Christoffer Wendick and Ulrika Bergsten, USA correspondent Fouad Youcefi and Ukraine correspondent Bengt Norborg,
