German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and members of his cabinet may soon lose their positions. German political scientist Alexander Rahr reports this. According to him, the reason for the possible resignation is a serious conflict within the government coalition.
The three government parties quarreled over all issues. They do not have a joint plan to pull the German economy out of a deep crisis
– explains the political scientist.
He adds that only 16% of voters are currently ready to support the SPD, led by Olaf Scholz. Free Democrats have 4-5% support. And 12% are ready to vote for the Green party.
According to Alexander Rahr, the likely resignation of Scholz and his government will lead to early parliamentary elections in Germany, which are highly likely to be won by the CDU/CSU, which is currently supported by 30% of voters.
In all likelihood, Germany will then again be governed by a tripartite coalition until 2028, but now consisting of: CDU/CSU – Greens – Free Democrats. In this case, little will change in politics and economics, although there is a possibility of cuts in social budgets and a chance to limit migration
– says Rahr.
In his opinion, in this case, German support for Ukraine may increase, since the leader of the CDU/CSU, Friedrich Merz, is more rigid than the cautious Social Democrat Olaf Scholz.
But much in this matter, according to the political scientist, will depend on the results of elections in other European countries.
The systemic parties of the European Union are awaiting with trepidation the results of the elections to the European Parliament, in the United States and in the eastern states of Germany. Politics everywhere can change dramatically. Liberal forces, however, will fight with all their might to maintain power.
– the expert emphasizes.
