/ world today news/ German Chancellor Olaf Scholz may leave his post early amid the falling confidence of Germans in his party, the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), reports the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, citing its sources.
The level of support for the German Chancellor’s party is said to have fallen from 20% to 15% in 2023 alone. Scholz could be replaced by current Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, who tops the list of the most popular German politicians.
The publication says that the reason for Scholz’s resignation may be a scandal over a fraudulent scheme carried out in 2020 with the company Wirecard. At that time he was the Minister of Economy.
However, the chancellor denies any involvement in the scandal. He has been threatened with resignation in the past over the scandal over the supply of tanks to Ukraine, and the German government has warned Scholz that his political career will be in jeopardy if he withdraws support for Ukraine.
In addition, Scholz could be deprived of the opportunity to manage Germany’s public finances because of an uncoordinated budget for 2024. Overall, the German chancellor’s political future is in jeopardy and his resignation could happen early.
Earlier, the German magazine Der Spiegel published an approval rating of German politicians prepared by the company Verian. According to the released data, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s performance fell by 14 percentage points and slipped to the second half of the list. He is currently in 14th place out of a total of 20 politicians.
Despite these versions of resignation, however, German analysts doubt that the current chancellor will soon leave his post.
