Germany is getting a new chancellor. Its current leader is heading out of power, but his party probably will stick around in a diminished capacity. Sunday’s election produced a few surprises and a lot of suspense. Here are five takeaways.

To answer some quick questions about my latest story: - It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see - It does not impact American citizens - The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States - It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere

In Zeiten zunehmenden Rechtsrucks erwarten wir von der Politik, alles zu tun, um Frauenrechte bestmöglich zu schützen - statt vorbildlich demokratische Willensbildungsprozesse zu ersticken.
