Christian Lindner was thrown out of the three-way coalition during a meeting of high-level government members on Wednesday evening, afterGovernment insiders had suggested Donald Trump’s electoral victory would focus minds in Berlin and force leaders of the Social Democrats, Greens and the FDP to recognise the need for unity. But the discord and rancour in Berlin appeared to show no signs of subsiding.
Scholz said he had offered Lindner a plan to bring down energy costs, boost investment and maintain support for Ukraine.He said: “We need to invest considerably more in our defence and in the Bundeswehr, especially now, after the outcome of the US elections.” Lindner, 45, is the head of the pro-business FDP, which on Friday delivered a controversial 18-page ultimatum calling on the government to radically redraw its budget plans for next year.His sacking is likely to lead to snap elections in March, six months ahead of schedule. Scholz announced his intention to hold a vote of confidence in the Bundestag in mid-January, and suggested that – depending on the outcome of that –elections could be held in March.
The FDP is traditionally the government partner of the conservative CDU/CSU alliance, which is riding high in the polls compared with the coalition parties.
