Germany will hold early elections on February 23 after the breakup of the government coalition, according to the date agreed by the parliamentary groups of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the main opposition party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
The date must still be confirmed by the German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who must dissolve Parliament after the chancellor, the social democrat Olaf Scholzis expected to submit to a motion of confidence on December 16, which it will lose due to being in the minority, according to several German media outlets such as ‘Der Spiegel’ and the leading public television channel ARD.
(There will be an extension)
