[Regnum] If the current government of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is denied confidence, early parliamentary elections will be held on February 23, 2025. This was announced on November 12 by the press service of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
"Based on current assessments, he considers February 23, 2025, to be a realistic date for holding new elections," said German presidential spokeswoman Kerstin Gammelin.
On November 12, the President of Germany received the chairmen of the factions of the ruling coalition Rolf Mützenich (Social Democratic Party of Germany - SPD), Britta Hasselmann, Katharina Dröge (Greens) and the head of the opposition bloc CDU/CSU Friedrich Merz.
Steinmeier's press service noted that the president welcomes the agreements reached on the schedule for the vote in the Bundestag on the vote of confidence on December 16.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, Vice Chancellor, Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Issues of Germany Robert Habeck announced the collapse of the coalition government on November 6. According to him, the collapse occurred due to the unwillingness of Finance Minister Christian Lindner to agree on more funds in the state budget for 2025 to support Ukraine. German Chancellor Scholz called Lindner's resignation "forced", stating that its goal was "to prevent damage to the country." Germany needs a government that has the strength to make decisions necessary for the country, he added.
On November 11, Friedrich Merz demanded early parliamentary elections in Germany. Later, Merz declared his readiness for dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin if he is elected. At the same time, he accused the current Federal Chancellor Scholz of lacking a strategic vision due to Berlin's position on Ukraine. He also promised that if he wins the elections, he will present Russia with an ultimatum within the first 24 hours.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on Merz's statements, recommended that he give his wife an ultimatum. According to her, if the candidate for chancellor of Germany from the CDU is interested in ending the military actions in Ukraine, then Berlin should stop supplying weapons to the Kiev regime.
