Germany’s Greens Party leaders resigned after poor election results, stirring up challenges for Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition. The conservatives called for early elections, adding to the turmoil in the government. Infighting within the coalition on budget, immigration, climate, and the economy has caused a drop in approval ratings against the opposition.
The Greens’ co-leaders stepped down due to single-digit results in recent elections, prompting calls for other cabinet members to resign. The CDU-CSU alliance demanded new elections, expressing discontent with the current government’s performance.
Despite starting as an environmental and anti-nuclear movement, the Greens have faced criticism from opponents. The plummet in popularity has raised concerns, with young voters turning away from the party. The FDP, another coalition member, also struggled in recent elections, leading to uncertainty about the government’s future.
The political landscape in Germany is shifting, with calls for change and uncertainty about the future of the coalition. The upcoming year could bring new challenges and opportunities for reshaping the country’s leadership.
