Don’t worry, Germany does not need you. It can perfectly confuse itself.
On the political landscape:
Typically, over the last decades there were only two major parties which took turns forming the government while the other one assumed the opposition.
These parties were the conservative Christian democrats and the social democrats. Every other party was a mere supplement to form the governing coalition, and they almost exclusively stuck to their usual partners. Until they could not and had to work together (great idea when you worked against each other for decades).
As you can see, neither particularly progressive nor with clear directions.
As those two struggled their way through each term, each following election was mostly in favor of the one who was perceived as having less failed.
Currently, the strongest party are the Christian democrats, which, as you could have guessed, are the ones not only pro-surveillance, but also recently reinforced the “rules for thee, but not for me” spirit by making it more difficult for the press uncovering corruption among politicians by restricting a transparency law.
Pretty fitting for a party that conspired with their European brethrens recently when they greenlit Chat Control 1.0 again.
But leave privacy to the far-right, verified extremist nationalist AfG, whose party name even implies that they have no agenda but being different. So of course they currently are against surveillance, because the ruling party is for it.
(Probably until they figure out that they still need surveillance, because their anti-immigrant policies only drove those affected toward crime out of frustration.)
As you can see, even boiled down to this, it is a mess.
And since voter turnout is low for the people actually important to vote and cause a wide variety of parties it had over the decades, the government is now effectively formed by votes of the technically uninformed and populism media influenced.
So yeah, it’s pretty confusing there by itself.
