German citizens call for snap Bundestag elections Survey shows
A recent survey conducted by the INSA Research Institute reveals that over half of German citizens are in favour of holding snap elections following the collapse of the ruling coalition.
The poll was commissioned by the German newspaper, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.
The survey found that 57 per cent of participants support an immediate vote, while 22 per cent would prefer elections to be held in March. Some 12 per cent suggested postponing the elections until September, rejecting the idea of snap vote.
The remaining 9 per cent either had no opinion or were indifferent. Moreover, the survey also revealed that German citizens have a more favorable view of the work of former Finance Minister Christian Lindner than that of Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Some 29 per cent of respondents expressed satisfaction with Lindner's performance, while only 21 per cent approved Scholz's actions.
Another survey found that 59 per cent of participants believe Chancellor Scholz shows a lack of respect towards the citizens of Germany. The surveys were conducted on November 7 and 8, with over 1,000 participants. The margin of error was not disclosed.
