The German coalition government parties – the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens, and the Free Democrats (FDP) – faced a devastating defeat in the recent European Parliament elections with vote shares of 13.9%, 11.9%, and 5.2% respectively. Despite the losses, the Berlin federal government dismissed speculations and appeals for early elections, emphasizing the government's plan to continue for the full 4-year term. The process for early elections in Germany involves a trust vote in the Federal Parliament, making it a challenging and regulated procedure. This response comes after opposition leader Markus Söder called for new elections to reflect the lack of public support for the current government.
