German Chancellor Olaf Scholz comments on the situation in the Middle East, one day after Hamas’ attacks on Israel, in the chancellery, Berlin, Germany, October 8, 2023. REUTERSPIX: Voters dealt the parties of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s fractious centre-left coalition a sharp rebuke in the key states of Bavaria and Hesse on Sunday, with economic woes and migration fears boosting the opposition conservatives and the far right.
The coalition has been blighted since it took office in late 2021 by infighting and an inability to find common ground, with Scholz accused of failing to show the leadership needed to impose order and tackle crises ranging from war in Ukraine to the green transition. The SPD’s 15.5% was a personal blow to interior minister Nancy Faeser, whose campaign to head the state was dogged by criticism of her handling of a surge in irregular migration.
All the parties in Scholz’s coalition did worse in both states than five years ago, with the FDP likely to fail to reach the 5% threshold to enter Bavaria’s parliament.
