After breaking up, Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government lacks a majority, with only the SPD and Greens supporting him, making a confidence vote imperative.
CDU leader Friedrich Merz called for an immediate confidence vote, stating, "The government no longer has a majority, so we must act swiftly to confirm support for the Chancellor."
Scholz plans to maintain a minority government with the SPD and Greens, postponing a confidence vote until January 15 to outline his strategy moving forward.
