German Chancellor Olaf Scholz lost a vote of confidence in parliament on Monday thereby paving the way for early elections in the European Union’s most populous member and biggest economy on 23 February next year.
Ahead of Monday’s vote, Scholz said it would now be up to voters to “determine the political course of our country”, teeing up what is likely to be a frenetic election campaign. Scholz told lawmakers that the election will determine whether “we, as a strong country, dare to invest strongly in our future; do we have confidence in ourselves and our country, or do we put our future on the line? Do we risk our cohesion and our prosperity by delaying long-overdue investments?”
The chancellor said Germany is Ukraine’s biggest military supplier in Europe and he wants to keep it that way.
