After the last parliamentary elections in France and Germany, Das Progressive Zentrum organizes in cooperation with the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the German Federal Foreign Office a Franco-German inter-parliamentary exchange project. In this context, a cross-party delegation of the Assembl\u00e9e nationale was welcomed in Berlin on 22 and October.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year 2017 represents an important turning point in the political life of both France and Germany. After the consecutive renewal of the Assembl\u00e9e nationale and of the Bundestag in September, both countries are now led by a new generation of politicians. Das Progressive Zentrum wants to take advantage of this unique opportunity to renew the Franco-German dialogue through an inter-parliamentary exchange project<\/strong> in cooperation with the Robert Bosch Stiftung<\/strong> and the German Federal Foreign Office<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cross-party delegation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first stage of the project took place on 22 and 23 October 2017: Das Progressive Zentrum received a cross-party delegation of 11 deputies of the Assembl\u00e9e nationale<\/strong> in Berlin for a project that committed itself to the exchange of established practices and the revitalisation of Franco-German impulses for the European integration. The event in Berlin distinguished itself by the presence of Members of Parliament with very different profiles and careers: Beneath them Sarah El Ha\u00efry<\/strong>, the youngest deputy of the Democratic Movement (MoDem), C\u00e9dric Villani<\/strong>, an international recognized mathematician and expert for artificial intelligence in the French Assembl\u00e9e nationale, Val\u00e9rie Bazin-Malgras<\/strong>, representative of the Republicans (LR) or Florian Bachelier<\/strong>, first quaestor and member of the party La R\u00e9publique en Marche (LaREM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decoding of the German political system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday afternoon, the MPs were welcomed by Daniel Schade<\/strong>, professor and researcher in comparative politics at the University of Magdeburg, and C\u00e9cile Calla<\/strong>, journalist and former correspondent of Le Monde<\/em> in Berlin, in the premises of Das Progressive Zentrum. A short, technical introduction enabled the MPs to (re)discover the main features of the German political system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this introduction, the delegation moved to the Pariser Platz, where they were received by the new French ambassador Anne-Marie Desc\u00f4tes<\/strong>. The ambassador discussed with them the most recent changes in the French and German political landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, the MPs met with different political leaders and members of the Bundestag, among them Andreas Jung<\/strong>, President of the Franco-German-Friendship Group in the Bundestag. Two symbolic conclusions were expressed during the evening: The German guests celebrated the new commitment of France for the European exchange: \u201cGermany feels lonely since a few years. We are glad that France is back!\u201d. On the French side, the relevance of the Franco-German friendship was recalled: \u201dIn any political matter, when France and Germany work together, they are invincible!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various aspects of the cooperation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Monday morning, Thomas Kr\u00fcger<\/strong>, President of the Federal Agency for Civic Education, and Sabine Ru\u00df-Sattar<\/strong>, member of the scientific advisory council of Das Progressive Zentrum, discussed the crisis of the representative democracy with the French MPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thereafter, the delegation visited the German Federal Foreign Office, where they were welcomed by Andreas G\u00f6rgen<\/strong>. As an avowed friend of France, the Director General of the Cultural Affairs and Communication department launched a debate around the topic of the Franco-German cooperation in cultural affairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At noon, the MPs had lunch with Michael Roth<\/strong>, Minister of State for Europe and delegate for the Franco-German cooperation. The German Minister of State strongly encouraged the MPs to commit themselves to the Franco-German relations in the Assembl\u00e9e nationale and in their respective parliamentary groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, the delegation went back to the Robert Bosch Stiftung to discuss several economic and financial issues with Philipp Steinberg<\/strong>, Director general for economic policy of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, and with Lucas Guttenberg<\/strong>, deputy Director of research of the Jacques Delors Institut in Berlin. At the end of the afternoon, the delegation left Berlin with new perspectives and impulses to be further developed on the national level or in the constituencies. They will come back to Germany in a few months for the second stage of the exchange project. During this second journey, they will also visit the constituency of a German MP to discuss common issues and challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
