Germany Faces Political Crisis as Government Collapses
TL;DR Summary
The German government has collapsed after Chancellor Olaf Scholz dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner, leading to the breakdown of the coalition between the Social Democrats, Greens, and Free Democratic Party. Scholz, who remains chancellor for now, plans a vote of confidence in January, which could lead to early elections. Conservative leader Friedrich Merz, a potential successor, advocates for immediate elections and shares some ideological similarities with Donald Trump, though he supports Ukraine against Russia.
