Germany’s Coalition Government Collapses Amid Tensions and Trust Issues. Germany’s coalition government has collapsed after Chancellor Olaf Scholz, dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner citing a loss of trust. Lindner, leader of the Free Democrats, had been a key figure in the coalition with Scholz’s Social Democrats and the Greens, known as the “traffic-light” coalition. This political crisis has left Germany’s government without a parliamentary majority and Scholz plans to hold a confidence vote early next year, though the opposition demands it happen sooner. The fallout stems from tensions over the 2025 budget and Germany’s stagnant economy. Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called it “a bad day for Germany and Europe,” while Scholz emphasized the need for Germany to remain a stable partner, especially after Trump’s U.S. election win.
