Editor's Take:

Olaf Scholz led Germany as chancellor from 2021 to 2025. A Social Democrat from Hamburg, he trained as a labour lawyer before entering politics. He served as mayor of Hamburg and then as finance minister under Angela Merkel. His calm, careful style earned him the nickname "Scholzomat". After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, he declared a Zeitenwende, or turning point, in German defence policy. He led a three-party coalition with the Greens and Free Democrats. It collapsed in late 2024, and he lost the 2025 election.
