(Finance) – Il German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier dissolved Parliament, setting legislative elections for February 23rd.
It’s one widely expected decision which comes after government crisis of the social democratic chancellor Olaf Scholz and at a time of heavy economic crisis for the country.
The chancellor, last December 16, with 394 votes against, 207 in favor and 116 abstentions, lost the confidence vote in the Bundestag, effectively paving the way for early elections.
