Scholz under pressure: Trust disappears, elections are imminent!
In Germany it is tremendous: the Bundestag has given Chancellor Olaf Scholz a vote of no confidence that has driven the mood in the country to a low point. In the middle of a massive increase in living costs, which the citizens are heavily burdening, you can see on impending elections. The inflationary price increases give many the feeling that the anticipation for the Christmas market in Berlin has almost disappeared. A mulled wine now costs five euros, while simple products in the shops have become more drastically expensive, as the editor -in -chief of the "Berlin Telegraph" notes. According to official statistics, inflation is 6.9 percent for 2022 and 5.9 percent for 2023, but reality could be even darker.
Scholz 'promise: where is the reality?
Although Scholz gave numerous promises during his term, such as the creation of 400,000 new apartments annually and a strict asylum policy, the citizens are increasingly disappointed. In fact, only 143,500 new buildings were approved in 2024, which is a massive decline. The announced measures to increase the deportations have also been in the sand, 61 percent of all planned deportations failed. As Berlin Live , hopes for positive changes remain unfulfilled for many Germans. The number of dump migrants and the expensive life situation reinforce the impression of mismanagement.
As if that wasn't enough, Scholz is now under pressure after the coalition government has broken. Finance Minister Christian Lindner resigned, which further tightened the dispute within the SPD and the Greens. In the last surveys, approval for Scholz slipped to 37 percent, which faces his once high support of 73 percent in the first years of his term. Now the likelihood of further political instability and early elections, possibly on February 23, are increasingly reported, as News-pravda The Germans hope for a turn, but whether Scholz can still turn this reality remains questionable.
