"German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will give a speech on Sunday focused on safeguarding his country's democracy to mark the anniversary of several notable events in German history. Among other things, he will recall the pogrom night on November 9, 1938, during which synagogues, Jewish-owned businesses and members of the Jewish community were attacked with the complicity of the Nazi regime."
"The German president is to urge the defense of democracy on the anniversary of several fateful events. Meanwhile, Germany's coalition government is struggling amid infighting, rows over policy and dismal poll ratings, even as it tries to meet the challenge of a resurgent far right. And Germany rejected many more asylum applications from Syrians in October, with some politicians saying that the country is now safe to return to under its new de facto government."
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will deliver a speech focused on defending democracy on November 9 at Bellevue Palace. He will mark the proclamation of the republic in 1918, the November 9, 1938 pogroms against Jews, and the opening of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The governing coalition under Chancellor Friedrich Merz is experiencing infighting, policy disputes and poor poll ratings six months after taking power. The government faces a resurgent far-right challenge. Germany increased asylum rejections for Syrians in October, with some politicians asserting parts of Syria are now safe to return to under a de facto government. These developments are central to public debate and political scrutiny.
