Olaf Scholz

Scholz

Olaf Scholz (born in 1958) is a German politician from the Social Democratic Party and Chancellor of Germany, succeeding Angela Merkel on 8 December 2021. At his inauguration as Chancellor in 2021, Scholz took the oath of office without a reference to God, and was the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany to not to belong to a Church. Scholz is the first German Chancellor since Adolf Hitler to make the disastrous decision to send German tanks into Ukraine. Scholz seeks to improve relationships with communist China and considers China as a partner despite human rights violations in the country.

As Chancellor, Scholz was not expected to last long do to incompetence, lack of leadership, and Germany's self-inflicted economic crisis for complying with American and European Union demands to cut off gas supplies and all trade with Russia. As a result of Western alliance demands and loss of sovereignty, Germany was forced to begin de-industrializing its vital manufacturing-based economy.

Scholz chief-of-staff commented that Germany was a "teenager" in the role of foreign policy leader for Europe.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded to Scholz decision when she implored German leaders “not to make the same mistakes of the German ancestors, that the German people paid a huge price for.” Staring directly into the camera at a press conference, Zakharova addressed the German people: “The day that it was allowed that Leopard tanks should be sent to Ukraine is historical because it has cemented the thing that we talked about, that Germany has completely lost sovereignty. And Scholz has just signed the loss of independent German foreign policy forever.”
