Olaf Scholz’s tenure as Chancellor of Germany is marked by significant events that ultimately led to the collapse of the Ampelkoalition. From the hopeful coalition formation in December 2021 to critical decisions during the Ukraine crisis, Scholz struggled with internal conflicts and growing tensions within his coalition partners. Key moments include his famous ‘Zeitenwende’ speech, the decision to delay the nuclear phase-out, and the escalation of disputes leading to the coalition’s dissolution. As of November 6, 2024, Scholz’s leadership faces severe challenges, culminating in a crisis meeting that marked the end of the coalition.
