Scholz signals his desire to bring forward the vote of confidence in Germany

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Sunday he would be willing to hold a vote of confidence in Parliament before Christmas, a move that would pave the way for early elections after the collapse of his three-party governing coalition.

The timing is earlier than the January date he proposed last week and comes after growing pressure from politicians and the public for a quicker vote.

Europe’s largest economy was thrown into a bind last week with the collapse of Scholz’s coalition and disagreements over how much money the government should spend to encourage growth and support Ukraine.

“I don’t care about my job,” he said in an interview with ARD television.

Scholz has suggested a vote of confidence in his government on January 15, with early elections in March, but the conservative opposition led by Friedrich Merz wants elections in January. A vote of confidence is a necessary prelude to elections.
