Germany Gov’t First Shake-Up With Trump Victory

Olaf fires Lindner

Germany is the first real casualty of Trump’s victory. Europe is also turning to the right, rejecting the same losing leftist policy spouted out by Harris. Chancellor Olaf Scholz just fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner, putting at risk the collapse of the German ruling coalition between the SPD and the Greens after three years. There have been differences in the budget and economic policy positions between the two factions. Lindner’s departure could lead to the FDP exiting the coalition.

Lindner of the FDP issued a paper that outlined his vision to revive the German economy. However, it argued against both fundamental positions of the SPD and the Green party. Hence, the German Finance Minister Christian Lindner has realized that the solutions undermine the socialist and green agendas.  His paper provided a practical attempt to analyze Germany’s problems facing Germany. However, it argues that they have been unable to agree upon a 2025 budget, which still had a funding gap of several billion euros and was still being negotiated. The deadline for the budget was set for later this month.
