The Germans: Schultz’s presidency will be short.
The latest polls show that about two-thirds of Germans do not believe Olaf Schultz will remain German chancellor for more than four years.
According to a poll conducted by the Yogo Institute, about 20 percent of those polled believe the new federal government, led by the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Liberal Democrats, will fall apart before the next federal election.
The poll also shows that 44% of Germans believe that Schultz will remain in office for four years and will not be re-elected. Only 16 percent of citizens expect the 63-year-old man to serve another term as German Chancellor. 1.3% of citizens also expect him to remain in this position for a long time like Merkel.
Olaf Schultz received 395 votes in favor, 303 against and 6 abstentions in today’s parliamentary vote.
Olaf Schwatz was thus elected the fourth Chancellor of the Social Democrats in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany.
This is the first time since 2005 that a Social Democrat leader has taken power, and for the first time in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany, a coalition of these three parties has been formed.
The Ampel parties (Social Democrats, Liberal Democrats and Greens) hold about 419 seats in the new German parliament.
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel began her retirement today, handing over the presidency to her successor, Olaf Schultz.
