“Germany is set to hold a snap election on February 23 after an agreement was reached among parties in the country’s fractured parliament on Tuesday. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD) said that the main parties had agreed on the date for a snap election. The official announcement was made by Rolf Mutzenich, group leader of the SPD, in Berlin. Mutzenich said that Scholz will officially announce a vote of confidence in the government on December 11, followed by a vote five days later. Should the government fail to win the backing of parliament — an outcome that is widely expected — President Frank-Walter Steinmeier would confirm a date for the election.” (11/12/24)
