Season 3, episode 2 of our six-part series The New Germany, with historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody, explores the once beating heart of the EU: the partnership between Germany and France. How can Franco-German relations find their way back to a functioning modus operandi? To what extent have the views of the respective heads of state influenced the partnership? And what mechanisms for reaching an agreement have proved effective in the past?
Guest: Rym Momtaz, journalist and Consultant Research Fellow for European Foreign Policy and Security (IISS)
What is the state of German democracy 100 years after the first crisis of the Weimar Republic? Is German democracy better able to deal with crises and problems today? What experiences and lessons has Germany learned under different chancellors? And how has German democracy dealt with extremism in society? Our popular special series returns for Season 3.
As hosts, historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody set out to find some answers. Together with their expert guests, they are looking into Germany's past and present to see what the future might hold for Europe's largest democracy.
