The Majority of the German People Are Dissatisfied with Their Chancellor's Performance

  The survey results show that the majority of German people are dissatisfied with the performance of the country's chancellor for the first time since taking office in 2021. As many as 51 percent of German respondents in a survey conducted by the German national network ZDF on Saturday (19/8/2023) said that they were dissatisfied with the performance of Olaf Scholz, chancellor of Germany. According to this survey, only 43 percent of German respondents expressed satisfaction with Olaf Schultz's performance as chairman of the German government's three-party coalition.

Olaf Scholz's government, which is made up of a three-party coalition of the centre-left (SPD), liberals (FDP) and Greens, has been strained over the past week over the passing of the tax law. On Wednesday last week, the German chancellor failed to pass a law that would have provided billions of euros in tax breaks for German companies. Because, Lisa Pope, Minister of Family Affairs in the German government, who joined the cabinet of Olaf Scholz from the Green Party, rejected the proposal. Lisa Pope's last-minute move comes weeks after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz rejected a request for at least €7 billion in additional child support, allocating only €2 billion.
