Finance Associated Press, December 26 (edited by Ma Lan) The unprecedented budget crisis of the German federal ** has greatly weakened the authority of the "traffic light" of the ruling coalition, and more and more politicians and voters want to re-elect a new coalition**.
Friedrich Merz, leader of Germany's conservative opposition party, the Christian Democratic Party (CDU), is pushing for a "traffic light" change, hoping to quickly switch to a conservative federation led by the CDU and its sister party, the CSU.
He said he and CSU leader Markus S der agreed on the need to replace the incumbent as soon as possible. They are considering holding early federal elections in Germany on June 9 next year, the same day as the European Parliament elections.
He believes that if the German federal elections and the European elections are held at the same time, more voters will show up to vote, and the high turnout will also help the election.
However, this also means that the traffic light** led by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will have to face a no-confidence motion in the German parliament, but judging by the current situation, Scholz and his party, the SPD, are unlikely to be abandoned by parliament.
Far-right threats.
At the same time, SDER proposed joining Scholz's SPD in the grand coalition** to consolidate support, but refused to form an alliance with the Greens. He was unsparing in pointing out that if the Greens continue to deny reality and distance themselves from it, things will become very difficult.
But Merz said the SPD currently has only 14 percent of its support and is being marginalized, and he is not looking forward to a grand coalition with such a party.
Currently, the CDU-CSU is polled between 31-34% and still needs the support of some allies if it is to form a **. The other two parties in the traffic light coalition have 13 percent support for the Greens and 5 percent for the Liberal Democratic Party.
To the dismay of all political parties, the AfD, seen as a "Nazi" revival, has a record 23 percent in the latest polls.
Mainstream parties fear that economic uncertainty could push voters toward the AfD in elections in three eastern states next year. All major political parties have refused to cooperate with the AfD due to historical sensitivities, but the strength of the AfD in the polls has led many German parties to fear that far-right ideas will sweep the country.
This is also an important reason for the CDU-CSU to want an early reshuffle**, and they also hope that the high turnout generated by the early elections will curb the possibility of right-wing voters swaying the election.
