(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, DEC 16 - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
on Monday lost a confidence vote in parliament, paving the way
for an early general election on February 23. Out of the
Bundestag deputies, 394 voted against Scholz while only 207
expressed confidence in the chancellor, with 116 abstentions.
Scholz had been expected to lose the vote after his three-way
coalition fell apart last month. (ANSA-AFP).
