For the first time in two decades, Germany is holding early snap elections. The country’s governing coalition collapsed last month due to a bitter dispute over its budget. Chancellor Olaf Scholz lost the vote of confidence he called himself, setting the stage for an early election. This marks the first time since 2002 that Germany will be holding snap elections in 2025.
