Germany's coalition government collapses as Chancellor Scholz fires his finance chief

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz gives a statement after a meeting with government leaders in Berlin, Wednesday.

In a news conference Wednesday evening, Scholz said Lindner was making work impossible in the governing three-party coalition, notably by refusing compromises on restarting the country’s sluggish economy, and on how to plug a multibillion euro hole in the budget. However, it has struggled through internal disputes worsened by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany, now Germany’s second most popular political party.

Lindner’s ouster came despite appeals within the coalition to stick together in the wake of the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president.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.”
