Olaf Scholz and SPD hope for miracle in Germany's election
- Chancellor Olaf Sholz's government coalition imploded and his poll numbers are dismal. But, at his party's conference this weekend, he made it clear that he won't give up without a fight.
The article discusses the current political landscape in Germany as the Social Democratic Party (SPD), led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, faces challenges in the upcoming European Parliament elections. Despite a recent victory in the European elections, the SPD is experiencing a decline in popularity, with polls indicating they might receive only about 15% of the vote, a significant drop from their previous performance. This decline is attributed to several factors including dissatisfaction with Scholz's leadership, particularly his handling of economic issues and his perceived lack of charisma. The SPD is banking on a "miracle" to turn their fortunes around, focusing on mobilizing their base with promises of social justice and better economic policies. Meanwhile, the opposition, particularly the CDU/CSU, is gaining ground, with their candidate Ursula von der Leyen leading in popularity. The article highlights the SPD's internal struggles, the broader political climate, and the potential implications for Scholz's future in German politics.
