The Prime Minister delivered a New Year's speech on TV at the end of the year is a German tradition. From taking office in 2005 to resigning in early December 2021, Merkel has delivered 16 consecutive New Year speeches. This New Year's speech was Scholz's "first show" after he was sworn in as prime minister on December 8.

"We are going to say goodbye to this year today. This year has undergone some changes, and one of the small changes is that I, as your Prime Minister, will deliver a New Year's speech to you tonight." Scholz said at the beginning of the speech.

Since Germany is still far from getting out of the epidemic, similar to the New Year's speech delivered by his predecessor Merkel a year ago, Scholz left the main length of his speech to the epidemic. He refuted the statement that German society is "breaking", "I want to say very clearly that it is exactly the opposite! Our country is in a state of unity." He gave an example to point out that in 2021, the Germans united in solidarity to face challenges such as unprecedented floods and the COVID-19 pandemic. He said that what he saw in this country was unity and moving forward.

Scholtz once again called on the public to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Those who have received the second dose should receive a booster shot. In response to those who are skeptical of the vaccine, he said that nearly 4 billion people around the world have been vaccinated with the new crown vaccine and have not experienced serious side effects, and many parents who have been vaccinated have also welcomed healthy babies.

"What is important now is speed, we must outperform the virus." Scholz called on the people to join hands and truly defeat the epidemic in the new year. (End)
