Following the changing of the guard after the end of Germany’s red/green coalition, a fundamental shift in attitude has gradually taken place. Europe today is no longer seen as the key project in German politics in which people are willing to invest an essential part of their political capital – and thus of their own future.
在德国的红/绿联盟终结之后的政治换防以来，一种态度的根本性转变逐渐发生。当今的欧洲已经不是德国政治生活中的核心议题—那种让人们甘愿投入关键性的政治资产，甚至用未来押宝的议题。相反，在柏林墙倒塌的20年之后，统一的德国正开始意识到它也可以自行其是。当然，问题在于这是个巨大的错误认识。
