Olaf Scholz will be Germany’s next chancellor

BERLIN, Germany (NBC) – After over two months of talks, Germany is announcing a new governing coalition.

Olaf Scholz will be Germany’s next chancellor, replacing Angela Merkel after 16 years.

Germany presented the coalition deal following the Social Democrats’ narrow win in September’s federal election.

The agreement has the SPD, the Greens, and the Free Democratic Party governing together for the first time.

The alliance promises to modernize Germany, focusing on transforming the country’s economy into a greener, more digitalized space and investing in infrastructure.
