German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed calls to initiate a confidence vote in the Bundestag, despite poor polling and internal coalition disputes.

In a recent ZDF interview, Scholz referred to the idea as a minor opposition suggestion, emphasizing that his government holds a majority to address current challenges.

Scholz acknowledged the complexity of forming governments in Germany, predicting continued difficulties in the future.

He expressed a commitment to maintaining support for Ukraine, despite some public disapproval, and highlighted the coalition's achievements.

Scholz also addressed migration issues, advocating for effective border management and cooperation with the opposition.

He remains focused on securing a strong mandate in the next federal election, underscoring the SPD's resilience.
