German Chancellor Scholz to ask parliament to clear way for new elections - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Measures to better protect the Constitutional Court from the machinations of a future populist or anti-democratic government, to cut energy prices and to extend a popular subsidised transport ticket are also under discussion.

If both the SPD and the Greens also back Scholz, that would leave him in the awkward position of remaining in office with the support of a party that he rejects as anti-democratic.

President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has said he will act accordingly after Monday's vote and agreed with parliamentary parties on Feb.23 as the date for early elections.
