Germany’s parliament has voted to dissolve Prime Minister Olaf Scholz’s government after the party alliance that supported him fell apart over differences over how to revitalize the economy. This paved the way for a new election, which is expected to take place in February 2025. It was only a matter of time since the Liberal Democrats left the government coalition and Scholz was left without a parliamentary majority in early November. Meanwhile, in neighboring France, Prime Minister Michel Barnier resigned hours after a vote in the National Assembly removed him from office — he had been in office for just three months. Barnier was the target of a motion of no confidence — the way in which MPs can remove a prime minister from office. Behind the mechanism, something unprecedented: an unlikely alliance of left and right, both dissatisfied. On the other side of the European continent, Canada, also a developed country, is showing signs of crisis with its Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. Parliamentarians called for his resignation shortly after Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned, plunging Canada into a political crisis, in which the economic situation also weighed. The person who explains how these scenarios converge is Thomás Zicman de Barros, a researcher at the University of Minho, in Portugal, and Sciences Po, in Paris, France. In the conversation with Natuza Nery, he also talks about the weight of the economy behind the downfalls and unpopularity of these leaders and how these changes can reflect around the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello!
