Friedrich Merz, chair of the CDU, has called for an immediate vote of confidence in light of Olaf Scholz's coalition collapse, emphasizing the urgency of addressing political instability.
Merz firmly rejected Scholz's timeline for a January confidence vote, stating there is 'absolutely no reason to wait.' He sees this moment as crucial for swift action.
The end of Scholz's coalition, referred to as the 'traffic light,' marks a significant political shift in Germany that may lead to a snap election as early as late January.
Merz indicated that the three weeks ahead could be utilized to explore potential cooperation between the CDU and other parties on pressing issues like the federal budget.
