Germany's Scholz to trigger elections with confidence vote

^{Published on 2024-12-16 03:21:09 - MSN}

Germany's embattled Chancellor Olaf Scholz will face parliament Monday to trigger the process towards February 23 elections, in the hope that he can weather a political crisis and win a second term. If Scholz loses the vote,

Scholz's plan is to dissolve the parliament and call for new elections, aiming to resolve the deadlock and secure a stronger mandate to address Germany's economic and political challenges.
