After the lost confidence vote in the Bundestag, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) appears relieved. “I will celebrate with a few good friends and thank a few of them for always working together with me” Scholz told the RTL/ntv editorial team on Monday evening.
Now, Scholz is already looking to the federal election on February 23 next year. “I’m glad the decision is made” the SPD politician said. Now it’s time to go and the citizens will have ‘their say’.
