How Germany Will Shape the EU Elections

Germany: The EU's heavyweight. Not only does it boast the largest population and economy within the EU, but it also stands as one of the most influential countries in the bloc. With a whopping 96 seats out of 720 in the EU Parliament, Germany isn't just participating; it's leading the charge, holding more than 13% of the total seats. And there is more! The leader of the biggest EU political party is German. And have you ever heard of this lady? Again, she is German.

Who is winning? This video will explain the main German parties: CDU/CSU, SPD, AfD, Greens, BSW, FDP and smaller parties like VOLT, Die Linke, etc. We will also look at the European Political groups: EPP, S&D, Renew Europe, Greens/EFA, ECR, ID, The Left and how they are associated to national parties. And then rank them at who is infront. We will also look at Ursula von der Leyen, Nicolas Schmit, Terry Reintke, etc and their impact on the EU Commission President race.

The CDU started this migration disaster, if someone isn't for strict migration, than its the CDU

"Die Partei - Party For Work" 🤣🤣🤣 This must be a translation error.

I would love one from the political parties of Spain and the groups they are affiliated in... Or perhaps one video indicating which political parties of each member state are associated with each european political group. On the other hand, this is a great video as always! Thank you for your content, it really helps people like me who loves and wants to learn more about the EU.

I am grateful that you gave the smaller parties some attention but I think they also deserve a short summary of their policies

[KommandoCraftLP]

Let's not forget that German conservatives and Von der ähm Leyen do maybe suggest policies before elections but actually stand for stagnation and cleptocracy when governing.

Ursula needs to go; she's a tragic failure. The EPP sheltered Orban, the only reason Orban is such a thorn in the EU's side is because the EPP coddled him for their own short-term gain.
We need new leadership.
The CDU/CSU states they are Strong on EU defense, but do not support Ukraine.
The CDU/CSU states they want "very strict" immigration laws, but it's worse now than ever. People are frustrated and turning to far right parties.
The CDU/CSU states they want a more competitive EU, but none of their plans will make much of a difference.
Again, I agree that we need a strong EU defense, strong borders, and a strong economy, but very little of what the EPP has done promotes their own words. It's words, not deeds, not actions. There's a famous phrase, "When all is said and done, more will be said than done." This is EPP's mantra.
We need new leadership. Ursula and the EPP both need to go.

I study German at the highest level in the Gymnasium and just had a social studies course on the European Union!

What a fantastic coincidence I'd stumple upon your channel! Your videos are delightful, well edited and give a simplistic overview - truly the EU is made simple

CDU/CSU: Between the promises and the actual actions there is a big Hypocritical Void.

Can you make a similar video for Italy too? I know it's a big request, but it would be very interesting to see!

[areli.huerta]

Watching this for an assignment, and it is still hard for me to completely understand. The video really helped.

[littlerageu]

ah yes as an SPD voter i am so disappointed how "much" they did for us workers ...

[mariamagdalena]

Ich freue mich und warte sehnsüchtig auf die europa Wahl 😊. Der beitrag war sehr interessant Danke.❤ . Plus ein Abonnement.

This time, we actually might see more than just one Volt MEP in the parliament. Especially with the successes in the Netherlands. Looking forward to that! 💜🇪🇺

The CDU is not strict at all on imigration. They ate responsible for the mass migration. And the SPD is also for more migration and not just "fair" migration.

[teodoraciobotaru]

Hope to make soon the video about Unification of Moldova and Romania.

[janw]

Cdu-CSU very strict migrant policy😅😂. Off course the best argument : Angela Merkel open border for immigratio, title: Welkomnen

[Dalex]

Can you explain volt ? I dont get what they really stand for or which group they are a part of.

[lucastroh]

Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht is not left wing! The limit would be left-conservative. The people of Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht doesn’t even Liebe to get called left

[hidderaven]

why not mention die linke as one of the major political parties, when you do mention the FDP which is polled at a similar amount/

[martinjanen]

What about a video about the smaller parties? The people shall learn more about the smaller alternative parties, who can be real alternatives, for example Volt (as you already mention)...
