Chancellor under pressure

Chancellor Olaf Scholz is facing increasing pressure as the popularity of his traffic light coalition declines. The recent election in Thuringia was a setback, and the upcoming election in Brandenburg could bring further problems.

The party leadership is trying to protect Scholz, but political scientist Albrecht von Lucke believes an early end to the coalition and Scholz's candidacy for chancellor are possible. Juso-Chef Philipp Türmer criticizes the coalition's social policies, calling for the abolition of the debt brake.

Green Party politician Marquardt and Borgschulte call for Scholz to take a leadership role in the debate on border rejections. Bavarian Minister President Markus Söder is seen as a strong contender for chancellor and the recent polls support this.

CDU leader Friedrich Merz criticizes the government's economic policies and calls for comprehensive reforms to reduce costs for businesses. He warns of a recession and job losses if action is not taken.
