Asked whether the Bundestag would be able to consider the proposal before elections pencilled in for February 23, he said he had the right to put the motion forward and there would be a debate before the full house in the current legislative period, but that it was not clear whether a vote would in fact be held.

So it's more of a symbolic action?

We may have a realistic chance that the vote is actually held. They will want to put something into motion before the re-elections, I hope.

Not too familiar with German politics and law but doesn't that seem fast?
