German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has dissolved the country's lower house of parliament, paving the way for snap elections on February 23. This decision comes after the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-way coalition, leading to a need for a new government capable of acting with reliable majorities in parliament.
Steinmeier emphasized the importance of stability in difficult times and stated that early elections were the right path forward for Germany. He highlighted the necessity for problem-solving to be at the core of politics once again.
