On Thursday, February 20, the Center for German Studies and European Studies M.A. program hosted Dirk Kranen and Antje Frehse of the German Embassy in Washington, D.C. 

They gave an engaging talk about the February 2025 German election and educated UVA students on the electoral and legislative system of Germany. Of utmost importance to this conversation were three guiding questions:

• Will the "firewall" hold?
• What impact could the election outcome have on German-American relations?
• What are the central controversial topics of the federal election?
