German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is ready to hold a vote of confidence in the government before Christmas in 2024.
The move could pave the way for early parliamentary elections after the collapse of the government coalition.
First, the German chancellor proposed scheduling a vote in the Bundestag for a vote of confidence in his government on January 15, and calling early elections for March.
However, the opposition called for elections to be held on January 19. Voting for a vote of confidence is a necessary condition for holding elections.
The German Chancellor may take into account the demands of the opposition to speed up the organization of early elections in the country. Scholz said that he “does not cling to his post,” but needs to prepare for the elections.
Centrifugal tendencies in the government coalition in Germany intensified after the resignation of Finance Minister Christian Lindner, a representative of the Free Democrats. The “traffic light” coalition in Germany includes the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Free Democrats.
