Germany’s governing coalition has collapsed after Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired a key minister, and said he would call a vote of confidence in his government early next year.
The chancellor said he had no trust in Finance Minister Christian Lindner, who heads the pro-business Free Democrats and has been part of the coalition along with Scholz’s Social Democrats and the Greens.
It plunged Europe’s largest economy into political chaos, hours after Donald Trump’s US election victory triggered deep uncertainty about the future of the continent’s economy and security.
The coalition collapse means Scholz’s government no longer has a majority in parliament, having governed Germany since 2021.
