At the time, Scholz said he intended to continue ruling in a minority government made up of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Green Party until mid-January, when a vote of confidence would be held that would lead to a snap election by spring.
However, Friedrich Merz, leader of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has warned Scholz that based on current opinion polls, a snap election will be held in January before Donald Trump becomes president of the United States. The government is pressuring the government to move the date forward significantly in order to ensure that the deadline is met. Mr. Scholz, who is likely to become Germany’s next chancellor, has threatened to withhold conservative support for all legislation unless Mr. Scholz agrees to a vote of confidence within the next few days, which would effectively sway the German government. It will paralyze you.
Scholz suggested Friday that a deal was possible.
“It would be good if the democracies in parliament could agree on which laws they can pass this year,” Scholz said in Budapest. “This agreement could answer the question of when to hold a vote of confidence in Parliament, even with regard to election day.”
Political parties have already begun campaigning for the snap general election.
Germany’s Economy Minister Robert Haveck announced Friday his intention to run for chancellor as the Green Party’s front-runner, a move that had been expected for many years.
“I am ready to offer my experience, my strength and my responsibility as prime minister if you wish,” Habeck said in a nearly nine-minute video posted Friday, showing him sitting at a kitchen table. Ta.
Based on current opinion polls, Habeck has little chance of winning, but it is possible that the Green Party could join as a junior partner in the next coalition government.
