According to the German newspaper Die Zeit, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and 14 ministers of his cabinet have officially resigned.
The country's president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, decided to resign. The president thanked Scholz and his cabinet for their great work. According to the president, they had had a difficult international period, and they have honorably resolved the issues they have faced, stabilizing the situation in the country.
The publication writes that Scholz and his ministers no longer hold their posts formally, but coalition negotiations on a new government have not yet been completed. Therefore, Scholz will continue to lead the official affairs of his cabinet in an acting capacity until a new federal government is appointed. The country's laws regulate all this.
