BERLIN — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner, paving the way for a confidence vote by parliament on Jan. 15 that is expected to lead to early elections next March.
“The finance minister shows no willingness to implement the offer for the good of our country. I do not want to subject our country to such behavior any more,” Scholz said, barely hiding his irritation.Scholz’s Social Democrats, Lindner’s pro-business Free Democrats and the Green party.

The dismissal of Lindner will lead to a confidence vote which could pave the way for new elections. The political sleight of hand is required as the German constitution does not allow a chancellor to directly announce early elections. Omid Nouripour, co-chair of the Greens, said before Scholz’s announcement that the coalition had an opportunity “to signal that we have understood how serious the situation is.”
