This follows a short but intense election campaign and necessitates a new election within 60 days of the Bundestag's dissolution.

What are the main concerns of the EU regarding the upcoming German federal elections and their potential impact on European policymaking?

Following the collapse of Germany's coalition government in November, concerns arose within the EU regarding potential instability and its impact on the bloc's decision-making processes. The EU's typical non-interference in member states' elections was overridden by Germany's significant role in the EU, leading to apprehension about future policy clarity and predictability. Germany's recent indecisiveness on key EU legislation, exemplified by delays on climate-neutral car regulations and abstention on the EU supply chain act, fueled these anxieties.
