Germany to Hold February Snap Election After Coalition Collapse
TL;DR Summary
Germany is set to hold elections on 23 February after the collapse of the governing coalition led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The crisis erupted when Scholz fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner, leading to a loss of confidence in the government. A confidence vote is scheduled for 16 December, and if Scholz loses, the election date will be proposed to President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. The political turmoil comes amid broader European uncertainties following Donald Trump's US election victory.
