German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is facing a no-confidence vote in a snap election. This means that the German government is collapsing in the wake of France doing the very same thing.
Last month, the three-party coalition fell apart over the country’s debt.
Scholz has led the German economy into the ground while generously donating to the war in Ukraine and helping NATO to thwart peace. Germans are justifiably mad about this.
Friedrich Merz from the conservative Christian Democratic Union is a candidate to replace Chancellor Scholz. He says that Scholz’ leadership in Europe is so bad that other EU leaders are avoiding him because he either “sits silent or tries to lecture them.”
