Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party coalition collapsed over budget disagreements, leading to an agreement for a snap election on February 23, seven months earlier than planned.
Following his coalition's dissolution, Scholz's decision to fire finance minister Christian Lindner sent shockwaves, spurring intense pre-election campaigning among all parties.
Facing a chaotic political landscape, the opposition pushed for earlier elections, expressing concerns about Scholz's ability to govern effectively with a minority administration.
In his first interview post-coalition, Scholz confirmed his intention to run for a second term amidst rising challenges to revitalize Germany's struggling economy.
