Germany: What can Chancellor Olaf Scholz still get done?

Summary

Nutrition label

70% Informative

Olaf Scholz is determined to use his last weeks in office with a minority government to pass what he believes are vital laws.

He wants to protect the Constitutional Court , increase child benefit, and tax cuts.

The CDU/CSU bloc of the Christian Democratic Union and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union , holds most of the political power in the parliament.

One law was already passed with the support of all the parties in the Bundestag -- except the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the socialist Left Party .

Scholz is likely to have to say goodbye to many of his big plans, including pension reform and child benefits.

The CDU and the FDP have made clear that they would not support the pension reform.

The Deutschlandticket, the Germany -wide ticket that allows travel on all local and regional transport, is also in limbo.
