Scholz Revisits "Zeitenwende" Speech In Bundestag

BERLIN, GERMANY - MARCH 2: Saskia Esken, co-leader of the German Social Democrats (SPD) speaks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as he arrives to speak in the Bundestag on the topic of the "Zeitenwende," the term he used one year ago following Russia's military invasion of Ukraine to describe a new era in the European political landscape, on March 2, 2023 in Berlin, Germany. A crucial part of his speech one year ago was the announcement of a special EUR 100 billion fund to modernize Germany's under-funded military, though critics charge too little of the fund has so far been spent. Overall Scholz has again and again been perceived as failing to show determined leadership when it comes to Germany's military and its military support for Ukraine.
