Germany’s ruling coalition collapsed after the chancellor, Olaf Scholz, sacked his finance minister and paved the way for a snap election – triggering political chaos in Europe’s largest economy just hours after Donald Trump won the US presidential election.

Christian Lindner, the sacked minister, said: ‘The chancellor gave me an ultimatum to suspend the constitutional debt brake. I couldn’t do that because I would have been breaking my oath of office.’

Wir sind einfach nur peinlich Deutschland …geht unter!!
Lindner wollte nicht die Renten kürzen sondern das Renten Niveau zum jahr 2040 senken
Ist ein kleiner unterschied .
Unser Land wird kaputt gespart
Für kriege und Ideologien die keiner nachvollziehen kann . Schaut euch nur unsere Strompreise an
El dice la verdad.
This braindead commets here are pure gold😂 The SPD and Grüne have squandered money all over the world, destroyed the German economy through regulations and expensive energy costs, and the finance minister, who is the only one who remains halfway reasonable and slows down the other two, is the evil😂🤣
He fired him because he refused to go in debt for Ukraine. Thats the whole story.
Scholz ist ein korrupter Milliarden-Betrüger der nie verurteilt wurde…75% der deutschen wollen ihn nicht mehr!!!
olaf ist ein narr
War cost
Is Olaf Scholz just spineless, or Putin's henchman? What other explanations are there for his Ukraine policy? If Ukraine loses against Russia, then Germany will suffer too, why can't this blockhead understand it?
Ist schon klar das die Grünen nicht nur Grundgesetze missachten sondern auch die Schulden erhöhen wollen um ihre eigene Unfähigkeit der friedfertigen Diplomatie sowie
Ruinös orientierte Wirtschaft
als gekonnte Grüne Politik zu verkaufen. STOPP. Zum Schutz Deutschlands. Nicht Krieg bringt Erfolg, sondern FRIEDEN.
This policy is more interested in Ukraine than in Germany…
Olaf Scholz and Annalina Barebock have literally betrayed Germany for the CIA
OMG
Who leaked that document ?!
And why
A non-conservative fiscal policy in Germany would break and already broken country
And make it war fodder for an unnecessary war in Ukraine and a wider war in Europe with Russia
The US is liquifying Europe to grind down Russia
Frankly
This solves two problems for the US
Russia and the EU
Omg what a dirty game of politics
What a dirty game
Hope Trump will stop all of that
All Germans love you 🙏🏻🇩🇪 We need you to fix this country 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇩🇪
Lindner steht doch so auf Sparpolitik, jetzt hat der Scholz halt den Lindner eingespart.
Es nützt nichts davon. Nur Schaden.
THIS ARE THE EUROPEANS LEADERS THEY SANCTIONING THEMES SELF .
So Germany has political turmoil, a collapsing economy, unchecked inflation, funding war in Europe and supporting a ghenocide?? They are one Austrian painter away from being world famous again… 😂😅
I hit $113k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started last month 2024. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject.
In every where Global tragedy we're seeing. Abnormal political movements grabs significant positions
Oh, Annalena geh nach Hause. Keine in Deutschland kann dich mehr hören, sehen und ertragen.
If you don't know anything about German politics – here is the just of it: The coalition consisted of 3 parties which had very different political ideas. The labour party and the "free-liberals" (they are very liberal in terms of the free market) didn't fit together at all. Lindner, is the leader of the free-liberals and wanted the coalition to end so he was blocking progress internally for some time and forced his departure. Now the coalition works only with 2 parties and can govern, but has no majority which is why there will be new elections beginning of next year.
Biden destroy their Russ gas powered strong economy…No we all know what was Brexit all about….Analena little brainless pupet…
Geil wir sind jetzt International
Nordstream was a dream until America got involved
German people need to get out and protest the corrupt government ! They need a real leader, even if he is a painter !
Bye Bye Olaf,your next to go!
The finance minister must have walked in during scholz watching the US presidential results announcement
does anyone think germany has these problems because your fearless leaders gave all to the ukes?
The reason is that Lindner wanted to cut aid to Ukraine to balance the budget, Scholz could not accept that, he would face US wrath. The US wants to hand over its failed project Ukraine to Germany and Europe.
Ukraine has brought Germany's downfall. It brought the downfall of the Democrats in the US.
Russia has outlasted the west and NATO. It has sown divisions in the US, EU and in NATO.
He wonderfully represents German arrogance.
They fear Trump 😂😂😂😂
Germany since 1945 has been a pathetic joke along with the rest of Western Europe
Fire the finance guy and people get unhappy? I bet there's some dark stuff in this mix.
SLAVA ROSSIYA!!!!!
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Money for Isghel but no money for budget. ? 😅😅
Germany by listening to the USA/Biden has destroyed itself.
A LOT FOOLISH DECISIONS BY TGE GERMAN GOVERNMENT. TAKE CARE IF YOUR ECONOMY AND PEOPLE FIRST.
that pipeline tho 😗
What a week, this is turning out to be! 🎉
Germany should stop copying usa, and get back to their own political system. 😮
