Passauer Politic Days 2025: Future of democracy in focus!

Universität Passau, Passau, Deutschland - The upcoming Passau Politics Days 2025, which take place from June 11th to 13th at the University of Passau, are devoted to decisive questions of the political and social future of Germany. Under the motto "Germany after the election - perspectives of a new beginning", the organizers have put together an exciting program that should not only address interested parties but also media representatives. The conference is organized by students from the Governet - State Sciences e.V.

The first evening on June 11th at 6:30 p.m. deals with the topic "The power of the markets - what price do our values ​​have?". The focus is on the conflicts between global business interests and a human rights -led foreign policy. The discussion participants include Dr. Nikolas Kessels from the Federal Association of German Industry and Angela Ziegler from Transparency International Germany. Britta Jacob from the Democratic Strategy Initiative e.V.

transformation of the party landscape

The change in the German party landscape is obvious. After the elections to the EU Parliament and the latest state elections in various federal states, the once dominating people's parties CDU and SPD suffered significant losses. In return, parties such as the AfD and Bündnis 90/The Green Immense have increased. This trend signals a profound change in the party system in Germany, which may have sustainable effects on future government constellations.

The classification and analysis of these developments will be an issue on the second day of the political days, June 12th at 8 p.m. Here, experts discuss the future viability of the party system under the title "Parties to change in transition - between proximity to the citizen and the loss of trust". The round is among others by Dominik Hirndorf from the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation and Dr. Yvonne Schroth shaped by the research group Wahlen e.V. The event is moderated by Dr. Michael Weigl from the University of Passau.

politics in the area of ​​tension

The last day of the event, June 13th at 6:30 p.m., addresses the challenges in the political center with the title "Politics without compromise? Cooperation vs. competition". It is discussed how political parties in modern Germany deal with the need for compromises and the tendency to compete. The invited guests include Philipp Türmer (Federal Chairman of Jusos) and Maximilian Kammerl (Green Youth Passau). Maria Lisa Schiavone from the University of Passau takes over the moderation.

In this context, it is important to mention that political parties play a central role in the political will formation of the people according to the Basic Law. They bundle interests of the population, represent them in parliaments and are indispensable for a functioning parliamentary government system. The structural change in the party system also illustrates that the trust of voters in political institutions, especially in East Germany, is significantly lower than in the West.

The Passau politicians 2025 not only offer space for an intensive examination of current challenges, but also a platform for critical reflection on the future of democracy in Germany. This is particularly pertinent in view of a party system that is increasingly being in transition and whose developments could shape the political landscape.
