First pic of 🇩🇪‘s very likely next chancellor @OlafScholz with his @spdde ministers-four of them women. Scholz had promised a cabinet with gender parity. Altogether, it’ll be 1 male chancellor, 8 male and 8 female ministers.

This simple graphic, from the @faz morning newsletter, sums up the magnitude of the SPD's shift inside government. With the exception of labour, where @hubertus_heil looks set to remain in office, every ministry the SPD will take over is currently in CDU/CSU hands.

Germany's conservatives could face a far-right upset in key state elections this Sunday. Surveys show the far-right AfD party neck-and-neck with Merkel’s CDU party in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt.

Is Angela #Merkel a #feminist? I asked her that in April 2017 in a panel discussion at the #W20 meeting in Berlin. Today, we still don't quite know the answer. But there are indicators ... @MKuefner and I discuss for @dw_politics . 🎙👂🏻👇🏼
Is Angela Merkel a feminist?
