Germany doesn’t have enough paper for early elections? Paper industry contradicts claims

All signs indicate that Germany does indeed have enough paper for new elections, putting pressure on Scholz for elections to come sooner than he may desire.

In the latest sign that Germany is becoming a joke country, Federal Election Director Ruth Brand claimed the country does not have enough paper for early elections in a letter to Chancellor Olaf Scholz. She warned of “incalculable risks” if elections are held early. She furthermore warned of a “great challenge in today’s world to actually procure paper and carry out printing ballots.”

Scholz himself is reportedly looking to delay elections as long as possible, and such an excuse may play right into his hands. He only wants a vote of confidence in January, two months after the dissolution of his government coalition, but now pressure is growing for new elections before Christmas, as the country’s economic situation continues to spiral.
