“The point of reference for our work should now be to improve the climate in the run-up to the federal election,” Mr. Soltz said, admitting that “the election result was bad for all three governing parties.”
We cannot continue as if nothing happened, Chancellor Olaf Solz said to his government partners after the unfavorable result for the parties in the governing coalition. He also announced a decision in June on whether or not to support Ursula von der Leyen to remain at the helm of the European Commission.
“The point of reference for our work should now be to improve the climate in the run-up to the federal election,” Mr. Soltz said, admitting that “the election result was bad for all three governing parties.”
The chancellor focused particularly on votes for far-right populist parties, both in Germany and in other countries.
“We have to worry about that. We shouldn’t get used to it and it’s our duty to always try to limit it.” But there is in Europe, he continued, “a clear majority for parties that are firmly committed to democracy and the rule of law».
Asked whether he would support Ursula von der Leyen’s candidacy for a second term, Olaf Solz declined to comment, but explained that “these challenges must be addressed this month – we are therefore deciding quickly” and added that he did not there is reason to wait a long time.
