Deutschland: Der letzte Optimist – dieser Merz-Berater hat ein Rezept für bessere Stimmung im Land

Jens Nordalm, a Merz advisor, claims a recipe for improved morale in Germany: more of the country's cultural and intellectual heritage. Nordalm often encounters this sentiment at Berlin's Einstein Café, where politicians, media personalities, and think tank representatives gather.

Nordalm argues that highlighting the country's achievements and rejoicing in its democratic values can help counter-populist rhetoric and boost national pride.
