Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on Germany's 84 million residents to stick together despite the many global crises and wars, the country's ailing economy and a deadly Christmas market attack that shocked the nation.
“Strength comes from solidarity. And we are a country that sticks together,” Scholz said in his New Year’s address, which will be broadcast Tuesday night. “We have it in our hands together: we can make 2025 a good year.”
