Olaf Scholz became the ninth Chancellor of Germany in December 2021, heading a “traffic light” coalition government formed by the SPD, Greens, and FDP with a platform emphasizing social justice, climate protection, and economic reform. His time in office was marked by significant international crises, most notably Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which he described as a “Zeitenwende” and which led to major shifts in German security and defence policy. Domestically, his government pushed for digitalization, modernisation of public administration, and increased investment in renewable energy and military capabilities. Challenges within the coalition emerged over budget disagreements, ultimately contributing to early elections in 2025. Scholz remained in office in a caretaker capacity until his successor was elected.
