Nuremberg: Trials of War Criminals - In the BR-Wahlarena, politicians address people's inquiries.
Buchheit and Rudner are already members of the European Parliament, while Singer, a farmer from Bavaria, is running for office for the first time in the election on June 9th. On the following Wednesday, Weber, the top candidate for CSU, and Wörle, a Green politician, will address another BR election event in Regensburg.
Before the "election arena," there was discussion about inviting the AfD. The originally invited controversial AfD representative, Petr Bystron, canceled last minute, prompting Buchheit to take his place. Some audience members voiced opposition to the invitation. BR's head editor, Christian Nitsche, who served as the moderator, mentioned that public broadcasting adheres to guidelines during election broadcasts.

Buchheit, a SPD member, and Rudner, representing the Green party, have been serving in the European Parliament. Singer, a farmer and first-time candidate for the CSU, looks forward to the elections on June 9th in Bavaria. During the upcoming BR event in Regensburg on Wednesday, Weber, the CSU's top candidate, and Wörler, the Green politician, will address the audience.
Initially, there were discussions about inviting the AfD to the "election arena." However, the AfD representative, Petr Bystron, cancelled his appearance at the last moment, leading Buchheit to take his place. Although some audience members expressed opposition to the invitation, BR's head editor, Christian Nitsche, ensured that public broadcasting adhered to guidelines during election broadcasts.
Following the elections, the newly-elected representatives may contribute to various policy discussions, such as the minimum wage or agricultural policy at the European Parliament level, while local issues, like asylum policy, remain crucial concerns for Bavaria and Germany as a whole. The media plays a vital role in informing citizens about political developments and candidates' positions on key issues, helping them make informed decisions during elections.
Free voters, who are not affiliated with any major party, can also influence election outcomes. For instance, they might support policies such as strengthening the EU's role in addressing global challenges and upholding democratic values while advocating for more nuanced approaches in areas like migration and asylum policy.
