#German President Dissolves Parliament, Schedules Snap Elections for February 23
On December 27, 2024, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier dissolved the Bundestag, Germany's lower house of parliament, and announced snap elections for February 23, 2025.

 This decisive action follows the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition government, which lost its legislative majority after the Free Democratic Party (FDP) exited the alliance.

The coalition's disintegration began on November 6, 2024, when Chancellor Scholz dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner, the FDP leader, over disagreements on economic revitalization strategies.

 This dismissal prompted the FDP to withdraw from the coalition, leaving Scholz's government without a majority. Subsequently, on December 16, Scholz lost a vote of confidence in the Bundestag, intensifying calls for early elections.

In his address, President Steinmeier emphasized the necessity of a stable and effective government, especially during challenging times. He urged all political parties to engage in a transparent and fair election campaign, free from external interference, and highlighted the importance of addressing critical issues such as economic challenges, migration, and climate change.

Current opinion polls indicate that the opposition conservative bloc, led by Friedrich Merz, holds a lead of over ten percentage points ahead of Scholz's Social Democratic Party (SPD). The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) also maintains significant support, complicating potential coalition formations, as mainstream parties have consistently refused to govern alongside the AfD.

This development marks only the fourth instance in Germany's post-war history where the Bundestag has been dissolved prematurely to facilitate early elections. The upcoming election is expected to be highly competitive, with key issues including immigration, economic policy, and Germany's stance on international conflicts, notably the support for Ukraine against Russian aggression.

Until the elections, Chancellor Scholz will continue to lead a caretaker government. The forthcoming campaign period is anticipated to be intense, as parties vie to address the pressing concerns of the German populace and restore political stability.
