Will Olaf Scholz become Federal Chancellor?

The news ticker for the SPD candidate for chancellor.

Berlin - The SPD is in the polls before the general election.

Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz is already being acted as the future Federal Chancellor.

The Union is trying to create a mood against the Social Democrats by warning against a “left slide” and “red-red-green”.

In the last TV triall, Scholz was already chancellor-style and toying with a coalition with the Greens.

As Vice Chancellor he is known to the voters - and they obviously like what they see.

In popularity surveys, Scholz is currently always ahead of the Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock and Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet.

Scholz in the Bundestag election: "Many people want a new departure and a change of government"

Two days before the federal election, the Social Democrat agreed to his supporters in Cologne for the intended change of government. "Many people want a new departure and a change of government." For this, the course must be set on Sunday. Meanwhile, the previous Federal Finance Minister sharply criticized the tax plans of the Union and FDP. Tax cuts amounting to 30 billion euros for the wealthy were "completely out of date," said Scholz.

"We can no longer accept that so many children in such a rich country grow up in poverty," said Scholz further and devoted himself to social policy.

He campaigned for a basic child security - something that the Greens are also striving for.

He also promised to secure the pension level as well as more recognition for social professions such as geriatric nurses.

However, there was trouble for his climate policy.

Although he names the climate crisis as the central challenge of the coming decade, he remains vague about the concrete phase-out date for coal.

The climate movement criticizes Fridays for Future.

Federal election 2021: with whom is Scholz's SPD forming a coalition?

The coalition formation after the federal election will be exciting.

In addition, Olaf Scholz made it clear which points will not be negotiable for him: "I want to raise the statutory minimum wage to twelve euros, keep the pension level stable and expand renewable energies." He was skeptical about a possible new edition of the grand coalition.

"The CDU and CSU have to go into the opposition again," said Scholz.
