Debate Spotlight: Germany's Election Candidates

As Germany approaches its Bundestag elections, key candidates from the nation’s four largest parties will engage with the public in the ARD 'Wahlarena.' Friedrich Merz (CDU), Alice Weidel (AfD), Olaf Scholz (SPD), and Robert Habeck (Greens) will address citizens' concerns in a live broadcast.

The 120-minute program is designed to highlight the pressing issues facing the electorate. Recently, these candidates confronted each other on various topics, including the Ukraine conflict and economic policies.

Notably absent will be Sahra Wagenknecht from the BSW, as the Federal Constitutional Court upheld the decision to exclude her due to her party's low polling figures. This decision emphasizes the ARD's focus on established parties, ensuring a debate that reflects the current political landscape.

As anticipation builds, the 'Wahlarena' promises to be a crucial platform for voters to gauge their future leaders.
