Around the supply of weapons to Ukraine in Germany, the political struggle has intensified. The leaders of the opposition bloc of CDU/CSU parties intend to submit to the Bundestag next week a draft resolution on the supply of heavy weapons to Kiev, if Chancellor Scholz does not decide on this, informs Spiegel.
The publication writes that there are enough supporters of such supplies inside the ruling coalition. Therefore, the resolution can gain a majority, bypassing the opinion of the Chancellor.
“Given the criticism of Scholz from within his own ranks, it is possible that this proposal may even win a majority in the Bundestag – and this is on an issue that clearly concerns the course of the head of government,” the newspaper writes.
“In fact, this means the question of Scholz’s confidence in the majority in the Bundestag,” the authors of the publication explain.
According to Spiegel, many are now dissatisfied with the chancellor – not only the opposition, but also members of the pro-government coalition. Therefore, the Ukrainian issue may lead to the resignation of Scholz, the newspaper writes.
