Ein Gespräch zwischen Beton, Brücke und Bundeskanzleramt: Gordon Repinski trifft Jens Spahn zum Spaziergang durch das Berliner Regierungsviertel und spricht mit dem Unions-Fraktionschef über das Koalitionsklima, den Kanzler und wie sich Deutschland in einer Moll-Stimmung befindet.
Spahn erklärt, warum der „linke Empörungszirkus“ über die Stadtbilddebatte für ihn Symbol ist, wie Union und SPD gemeinsam das Land stabilisieren sollen und weshalb für ihn „Mitte rechts“ nicht dasselbe ist wie „rechts der Mitte“. Er spricht über Migration, Rentenpolitik, Wirtschaftswachstum – und darüber, warum das Land wieder Zuversicht braucht.
Es geht zu dem um Spahns Verhältnis zu Friedrich Merz, den inneren Frieden mit alten Ambitionen, seine Sicht auf die AfD und seine Haltung zu Trump und den Republikanern.
Das Berlin Playbook als Podcast gibt es jeden Morgen ab 5 Uhr. Gordon Repinski und das POLITICO-Team liefern Politik zum Hören – kompakt, international, hintergründig.

You'll find shimmering unicorns, oversized gummy bears, underwater dreamscapes, neon jungle scenes and more. It's part art gallery, part fever dream.</p><p>Some installations within the three-floor expo feature interactive elements like confetti cannons, objects to handle, and even a ball pit visitors can hop into. </p><p>“We wanted to create a space where creativity, sensitivity, and wonder could be freely expressed. Guests drift from one world to another — with no set route, but with the certainty of being surprised," says Audray, founder and CEO, at BOMBANCE. </p><p>"FAB invites people to escape their routine and explore an extravagant universe where limits no longer exist."</p><p>Beyond the eye-catching visuals, FAB also leans into its local roots. Many of the installations are handmade in Quebec, and much of the exhibit was built using recycled materials.</p><p>And while it's undeniably Instagram-friendly, the space aims to be more than just a backdrop. Its creators describe it as a "melting pot" designed to spark creativity, offer a playful escape from reality, and invite visitors to reconnect with their sense of wonder, whether alone or with friends.</p><h3>La Fabuleuse Expo Fab</h3><br/><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DK-jS3GJ7rF/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
