“Does our model of a free society still have a future?”

On June 22, Friedrich Merz, Chairman of Atlantik-Brücke, was interviewed on “phoenix persönlich” about Europe’s current relationship with the United States. Merz stressed that transatlantic cooperation is not an end in itself, but is proving indispensable, especially in a world in which authoritarian regimes are gaining more and more influence. Curbing their influence must be a common undertaking. Friedrich Merz gave an insight into the contribution of Atlantik-Brücke to maintaining the dialogue with the United States. He also underlined the importance of multilateralism for Germany and urged that the European project should not be given up.
