💨 Abstract

Germany's coalition government collapsed on Wednesday, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz sacking Finance Minister Christian Lindner. Scholz is expected to head a minority government with the Social Democrats and Greens. He has called for a confidence motion on Jan. 15, leading to a snap election by the end of March. Scholz will ask Friedrich Merz, leader of the opposition conservatives, for support on budgetary measures.
