The war in Ukraine has proved a turning point for German policy makers who have pledged to increase defence spending and wean themselves off their dependence on Russian gas and oil. But at what cost to the German public? How deep is the new consensus in Berlin? How will Germany face these new challenges in foreign policy and energy and inflation problems at home?
German politicians and opinion formers take questions from a live audience at Berlin's Humboldt University in a debate chaired by Jonny Dymond.
The panel:
Nils Schmid: SPD MP and foreign affairs spokesperson
Johann Wadephul: CDU MP and member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs
Daniela Schwarzer: Political scientist and Open Society Executive Director for Europe
Franziska Brantner: Green Party MP and Parliamentary State Secretary in the Ministry of Economic Affairs
