Global Europe Program Director Robin Quinville talks with Dr. Christoph von Marschall about the recent success of the far-right Alternative for Germany party in regional elections. They also examine the rise of a new far-left party, the Sarah Wagenknecht Alliance. What does it mean for this part of Germany and the federal government? Will it affect Germany’s policy toward Ukraine and Russia? What does it mean for the transatlantic alliance? Christoph von Marschall is the Chief Diplomatic Correspondent of the Berlin Daily "Der Tagesspiegel" and a Wilson Center Scholar this year.
