このコンテンツについて
Olaf Scholz just made his first real splash since leaving the chancellery by sitting down for a candid, low-key podcast called Kaffee und Fluchen. While major media outlets were left out in the cold, Scholz used the opportunity to revisit the heavy days of his tenure, focusing especially on his private conversations with Vladimir Putin throughout the Ukraine crisis. According to Scholz, these talks were performed in what he called a friendly yet clear-eyed tone. They were respectful, yes, but neither leader was confused about where the other stood. Scholz revealed that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was anything but a spur-of-the-moment decision and underlined his view that restraint and rationality remain vital when major powers are involved. Asked whether he feared a third world war, Scholz tiptoed around the question but insisted the lesson of nuclear history is prudence and clarity—he said you must support Ukraine, but never go so far as to risk direct conflict between Russia and NATO.
On the podcast, Scholz also surprised many by expressing hope that Donald Trump might actually help foster a settlement in Ukraine, referencing Trump’s past role in Middle East ceasefires. This unusually optimistic note toward Trump is sure to spark debate, especially among Scholz’s own Social Democrats who are watching the US election cycle closely.
Recently, prominent headlines have circled Scholz’s post-chancellery moves. With the German coalition collapsed and a new government taking its own policy turn, Scholz has been largely absent from the limelight—retreating into life as a backbench MP, a step away from day-to-day political brawls, according to The German Review. Yet even in the background, his legacy looms large: just last week, he was cited as a pivot in Berlin’s military and Ukraine aid policy. Scholz recently reminded financial journalists that Germany’s €4 billion commitment to Ukraine for 2025 was secured before his departure, a point confirmed by Reuters and still a major biographical milestone.
Social media has been abuzz with speculation and even rumors about Scholz’s health, fueled by his lower profile and a few awkward public appearances. For the record, as reported by DailyBericht, there is absolutely no credible evidence Scholz suffered a stroke or any serious health scare—the chatter is just online gossip. Meanwhile, in the world of big business and energy, Scholz’s coalition’s major gas capacity plans are now being cut back after EU resistance, a direct result of the early collapse of his government, according to Clean Energy Wire.
Looking ahead, all eyes will be on Scholz as he is scheduled to appear before a parliamentary committee on Nord Stream pipelines at the end of November, per Le Monde. This could lead to new revelations or, knowing Scholz’s famously legalistic style, just more dry political theater.
