First the election to the Bundestag, then nomination by the Head of State
In Germany the Merkel era ends today, with the election and swearing in of the Social Democrat Olaf Scholz, who will take over from the Bundeskanzlerin at 3 pm in the chancellery. Scholz, 63, will lead the so-called “Semaforo” coalition, made up of the SPD, the Greens and the Liberals after winning the elections on 26 September.
After 16 years in government, the Union (CDU-CSU) will go to the opposition. A long applause with ovation greeted Angela Merkel in the Bundestag at the beginning of the parliamentary session, during which Scholz is expected to be elected as the next Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. At 10.30 he is expected by President Frank Walter Steinmeier at Bellevue Castle for his appointment. The parliamentary session will resume at 12 for the swearing in of the Bundeskanzler, which with the new executive will return to the German Quirinal to the Head of State.
