Fiery Bundestag Debate Before Election

Published: 2025-02-11

Germany's Bundestag witnessed a heated final debate before the upcoming elections, with political leaders clashing over key issues.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz criticized opposition leader Friedrich Merz for his "wavering" stance and accused him of undermining European unity with his migration policies.

Merz fired back, accusing Scholz of fueling "class warfare" and defended his call for unity among centrist parties to counter populism.

Meanwhile, Green Party candidate Robert Habeck emphasized climate action, while FDP's Christian Lindner mocked Scholz's policies as unrealistic.

The session highlighted deep divisions but also set the stage for potential post-election coalitions, as parties vie for voter support in a polarized political landscape.
