The chancellor's demise is getting closer and closer: The pure denial of reality by the Scholz traffic light coalition

The West The chancellor's demise is getting closer and closer: The pure denial of reality by the Scholz traffic light coalition Story by Marcel Görmann • 5 hours • 2 minutes reading time Chancellor Olaf Scholz disappeared on EU election Sunday and refused to make a statement. In the Willy Brandt House, after the results were announced, he put on a grin and disappeared without addressing his comrades. He sent his general secretary Kevin Kühnert and top candidate Katarina Barley to put the disaster in context. As if it weren't his own failure. A comment. Scholz was on all the posters - but is still above it all even after the failure In fact, the defeat in the European elections was a vote on the traffic light chancellor. The SPD did not believe Barley could win a successful election on his own, Scholz was on the election posters next to her. The Union is absolutely right to now demand a vote of confidence in Scholz in the Bundestag. Never before has a chancellor's party only received 14 percent in a nationwide election - embarrassing! European elections: Voters have long since had enough of the traffic light coalition The Greens also collapsed, the FDP is fighting desperately for the 5 percent. The multiple crises - Putin's war, the climate and energy crisis and the budgetary crisis - are an absolute overload for this too diverse alliance. Especially with a chancellor who does not shape and lead, but rather zigzags, especially in supporting Ukraine. The traffic light parties are nevertheless stoically sticking to the coalition because none of them sees a better alternative. The voters have long since had enough of the coalition. The mood in the country has rarely been so low. According to post-election surveys by ARD, 77 percent of people are worried about the situation in Germany. 76 percent of people are dissatisfied with the federal government. 85 percent do not like the way the governing parties treat each other. The SPD leadership around Olaf Scholz, however, is ignoring all of this. Klingbeil admits that this European election result is frustrating for his party. But then comes the slogan: "There is no reason to bury our heads in the sand." Now it is "now more than ever." Pure denial of reality!
