"Ce qui fait bouger l’Allemagne" a debate series hosted by Jeanette Süß (Cerfa), aims to examine the major political issues facing Germany as it confronts upheavals in geopolitics, economics, and security. These factors are leading to a growing fragmentation of the German political system. The so-called "traditional" parties had to prove themselves in the European and regional elections in 2024. Thus, political developments in Germany have a strong impact on Franco-German relations, which are crucial for the future of Europe.

Conference organised by the Study Committee on Franco-German Relations (Cerfa) in cooperation with the Maison Heinrich Heine, the research laboratory SIRICE (Sorbonne-Identités, relations internationales et civilisations de l’Europe), the scientific journal Allemagne d'aujourd'hui and Hub Culturel Européen.
