Chancellor Olaf Scholz is under increasing pressure to declare a trust question amid political uncertainty following the collapse of the Ampel coalition. While opposition leaders demand immediate action, Scholz appears to be weighing his options carefully, aiming to maintain his composure. His long-term strategy may involve allowing his political opponents, particularly CDU leader Friedrich Merz, room for missteps. Scholz’s recent comments indicate a willingness to discuss the timing of the trust question, but he remains focused on presenting himself as a steady leader amidst the current turbulence.
