Germans worry about not getting things right. What has happened to Germany’s much-vaunted German efficiency?

In her management of the Coronavirus crisis, Angela Merkel is making a big bet against the German playwright Bertolt Brecht and his “Three Penny Opera.”

Angela Merkel is acting – though definitely not looking – like a flower power girl from California. Focused on consensus, not leadership, she believes in human goodness.

The AfD’s Thuringia maneuver caught Germany’s right-of-center parties flat-footed. The odds of a leftist coalition at the federal level in 2021 are rising.

Why on earth are Merkel and Macron slamming the door to the EU shut for Europeans between the Aegean and Adriatic?
