Prime Minister Scholz will ask the Federal Parliament to hold a vote of confidence in the current government . The vote is scheduled for December 16th, and new elections will be held on February 23rd, 2025.

During that period, he urged the parties in the German Parliament to work towards "passing very important and urgent laws."

Some of these bills could achieve majority approval in the Federal Parliament, such as those relating to income tax, child allowances, and changes to the Basic Law (German Constitution).

Regarding the Ukraine issue, Chancellor Scholz affirmed that Germany has a duty to prevent the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Therefore, Berlin should rule out the possibility of transferring Taurus long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine.
