Interview: Wolfgang Ischinger: "We are facing the most dangerous autumn so far"
The long-standing head of the Munich Security Conference assesses the chancellor crisis, warns of a new threat from Russia – and explains what must not happen now.
Wolfgang Ischinger warns that Germany's domestic political crisis poses a threat to European security, describing the situation as a crisis of "historic dimension". He emphasizes that Germany, as a key player in Europe, must demonstrate leadership and stability to maintain the continent's security. Germany's role as a leader is crucial, and without its active involvement, Europe cannot be effectively led.
Ischinger stresses that Germany's economic power can help drive Europe forward, but its citizens must be willing to take on a leadership role.
