German Federal Election 2025: And what comes next?

The 2025 federal election in Germany is a turning point. The economy has been stagnating for the third consecutive year, and continuing as before is not an option.

Energy prices are far too high, and companies are no longer competitive in the global market. According to the World Competitiveness Center in Lausanne, Germany has fallen to 24th place in the global Competitiveness Index. The “Made in Germany” brand is suffering severely from the political and economic chaos in Berlin. Since US President Donald Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement, Germany’s green policies and their transformative ambitions have also hit a wall.

What about democracy in Germany? How can fair migration policies be achieved? What can Germany do to combat illegal immigration without bypassing European laws? What measures are needed to ensure security in Germany and Europe, allowing people to live safely and potentially ending conflicts such as the war in Ukraine?

The next four years are crucial for Germany’s future. The newly elected government must address key questions over the next term:

• If German politics fails to address citizens’ fears and aspirations or revive economic growth, people will look for alternatives.

• If the state does not regain strength where necessary and reduce excessive bureaucracy, people will seek alternatives.

• If Germany does not defend its openness, tolerance, and diversity through order, rules, and laws, alternatives may be sought by 2029.

• If democracy fails to deliver within the next four years, Germany could, like the US, Austria, the Netherlands, and Italy, witness a shift toward alternatives in the 2029 elections.
