German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has presented Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his 14 ministers with their certificates of resignation on March 25, marking the commencement of the new Bundestag session, Orda reports, citing Deutsche Welle.
Steinmeier has requested that Scholz and his cabinet continue in their roles on an interim basis until a new government is formed. This arrangement will persist until Chancellor-designate Friedrich Merz finalizes his coalition talks and officially assumes office, a process anticipated to conclude by April 20.
The recent federal elections resulted in a shift of power, with Merz's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) securing victory over Scholz's Social Democratic Party (SPD).
The CDU is currently engaged in coalition negotiations with the SPD to establish a new government. Key discussion points include migration policies and welfare reforms, reflecting the complexities of forming a stable coalition.
