Meckel & Matthes: Kanzler ohne Rückhalt, die Pläne der AfD und das Ende des Internets, wie wir es kannten
Meckel und Matthes sind zurück aus der Sommerpause und diskutieren, warum der AfD gelingt, was Kanzler Friedrich Merz nicht schafft. Außerdem: Wie Maschinen das Netz kapern – ist das Internet noch zu retten?
Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz, who was recently exposed during a visit to the Hürtgenwald in North Rhine-Westphalia, claims he is speaking with those who work. However, journalist and professor Miriam Meckel believes the chancellor is delivering the wrong message at a time when people are already losing their ability to communicate with each other.
In Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is polling around 40 percent. Party leader Ulrich Siegmund promises to return "the good old Germany." Handelsblatt chief editor Sebastian Matthes sees this as a failure of established parties to develop a vision for the future. Meckel and Matthes conclude by discussing the future of the internet.
