Olaf Scholz facing resignation

3 января 2024

Dissatisfaction of Germans with the policy of the authorities may lead to the early resignation of the country's Chancellor Olaf Scholz - such a forecast was made by the newspaper "La Repubblica". Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is named as a possible alternative.

The publication notes that the level of support for the Chancellor's party in 2023 fell from 20% to 15%, and this is the worst result for all time. One of the reasons for the fall in Scholz's credibility is cited as a scandal related to a fraudulent scheme in 2020. The incumbent chancellor at the time was Minister of Economy. Now the politician denies involvement in the incident.
