Online event “Europe and the election in Germany” In July 2021 it became hectic in Brussels: The European Council’s agenda included a number of issues that had the power of explosive European policy: The Reconstruction Fund should be launched, as should the framework data for the EU budget and a link between payments and the rule of law criteria. The wishes and criticism were varied. In this situation, Angela Merkel seems to have succeeded with great experience and negotiation skillfully in defining the EU states on a common course, at least for the time being. These situations will be a thing of the past with the accession of a new federal government. Angela Merkel will not run again. The question is who is following it and which European policy priorities are to be expected. All three candidates for the chancellor’s office express themselves definitely pro-European. On the occasion of the 23rd round of the debate. WDR-Europatages were marginal in this respect. The election will nevertheless result in major changes. With this in mind, a number of questions arise: What does the Merkel government’s European policy record look like? What European policy problems remain? What offers do the chancellor candidates of the parties make? And who can take Angela Merkel’s position in the European Council?
