Chancellor Olaf Scholz dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner on November 6, 2024, plunging Germanys coalition government into crisis.
The move followed weeks of escalating tensions over economic policy.
Lindner, leader of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), had proposed early elections to resolve the impasse.The coalition, formed in 2021, struggled to find common ground on fiscal matters.
Lindner advocated for tax cuts and reduced social spending.
His stance clashed with the priorities of Scholzs Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens.
The disagreements intensified as Germany faced its second consecutive year of economic contraction.Scholz criticized Lindner for obstructing legislation and engaging in partisan tactics.
He announced plans to seek a vote of confidence in the Bundestag on January 15, 2025.
If Scholz loses this vote, Germany could hold new elections as early as March 2025.German Government Fractures as Economic Woes Deepen Christian Lindner.
