Election to the 21st German Bundestag on 23 February 2025 - Info Session
Thursday, February 6, 2025 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm CET/GMT+1W15 Cafe (Waldstraße 15, 13156 Berlin, Germany)
If you have walked the streets of Berlin and Germany recently, you likely noticed the election posters of various political parties campaigning for the 2025 German federal election on 23 February 2025. Originally scheduled for 28 September 2025, the elections were brought forward due to the collapse of the governing coalition in 2024. Ahead of the election, thousands of people took to the streets in several cities across Germany to protest the rise of far-right extremism and the growing popularity of the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
You are invited to join the 2025 German Federal Election info session to learn what is at stake, the political and societal context, and what may be the implications of election results. Reinhard Fischer from Berliner Landeszentrale für politische Bildung (Berlin Centre for Civic Education) will visit campus to offer an overview of the electoral system, the democratic setup of the German state, and political decision-making processes, as well as the relationship between the state and the civil society level.
