The new government in Berlin is championing change which will reshape the global image of Germany and Germans, according to the coalition agreement.
Decades after the Nazis declared the country a Volksgemeinschaft or ‘people’s community’ of the Herrenrasse, the social-democratic SPD, Germany’s oldest political party—for which there has never been a ‘master race’, only a human race—is once again in government with the Green Party. Olaf Scholz, Germany’s ninth post-war chancellor, and his ‘traffic light’ coalition, which also includes the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), will change German laws on citizenship and nationalisation and by so doing redefine national identity in the long term.
