Following the European vote. - Scholz suggests anticipating an increment in approval.
After the disappointing results of the traffic light parties in the European election, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) has urged for closer collaboration among the government. Speaking after a meeting with Chilean President Gabriel Boric in Berlin, he said:
"The elections went poorly for all three governing parties." When questioned about his personal role in the 13.9% electoral disaster of the SPD, Scholz replied:
"It's not wise to just move on from this. While we do need to continue with our duties, it's equally important that we ensure our country becomes modern and progresses. We must also prepare for the likelihood of increasing approval rates. This way, we can showcase the results of our work at the upcoming federal election and regain the confidence of citizens in our efforts." He emphasized: "Each of us must now put in the effort and tackle the issues ahead of us."
It's worrisome to see the rising votes for right-wing populist parties in Germany and elsewhere. However, there's a clear majority in Europe for parties that support democracy and the rule of law.
