German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is ready to hold a confidence vote in parliament before Christmas. This decision was made after the collapse of the government coalition and the conflict over budget policy.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Sunday, 10, that he was ready to announce a vote of confidence in parliament before Christmas. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.

Details

Such a move could pave the way for early elections after the collapse of his government coalition.

The date of the vote will be earlier than January 15, which Scholz announced last week, and is a response to pressure to hold the vote sooner.

After the collapse of the coalition, Scholz said he was ready to submit a vote of confidence in the German government to the Bundestag.

Recall

German Chancellor Scholz initiated a confidence vote in the Bundestag on January 15, 2025. The decision was made after a conflict with Finance Minister Lindner over budget policy.
