In the first televised debate ahead of Germany's snap election, Chancellor Olaf Scholz faced off against conservative frontrunner Friedrich Merz but struggled to deliver a strong attack. Both candidates discussed economic recovery and immigration, with Merz critiquing Scholz's government record while Scholz dismissed Merz's hardline proposals as 'stupid.' Analysts suggest the debate did not help Scholz close the gap, which currently stands at about 14 percentage points favoring Merz.
