Plain Speaking on Prime Time - understand-culture

On 13 February 2025, before the federal election, the public broadcaster ZDF aired its election forum Klartext, plain speaking. The chancellor candidates Olaf Scholz, Friedrich Merz, Robert Habeck and Alice Weidel each faced questions from citizens in the studio. During Friedrich Merz’s turn, a question came from Thyssenkrupp, where employees feared mass layoffs: Wie wollen sie uns helfen? How do you want to help us?
