BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said protecting the country's constitutional court from extremists and populists was a priority of his as his now-minority coalition seeks consensus in parliament to push through proposals ahead of snap elections.
In his weekly podcast, Scholz mapped out proposals - including lower wage tax and an increase in child benefit - that he is seeking support for in parliament in the coming weeks.
