German Chancellor Scholz Fires Finance Minister Lindner as Coalition Collapses Amid Calls for Snap Elections
Nov 6, 2024, 07:45 PM
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner, leader of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), according to multiple sources. Lindner had reportedly called on Scholz to pave the way for snap elections to resolve the government's budget crisis. His dismissal raises concerns about political instability and the collapse of the coalition government, with the FDP possibly leaving the coalition. Scholz is expected to address the nation shortly. Recent polls show the Alternative for Germany (AfD) ahead of all governing parties, heightening the tension amidst the government's crisis.
