Government crisis
The Chancellor now still has these four options
After Finance Minister Christian Lindner’s paper, the government is shaking, the ball is now in Olaf Scholz’s court. What can he do now? Four options.
What does he think? What is he doing? In the Chancellor’s party all eyes are once again on Olaf Scholz. Since Christian Lindner, the FDP finance minister, surprised the traffic light with his economic paper on Friday afternoon, there has been great outrage among the Social Democrats. It is said that his ideas about saving the economy are completely illusory, pure campaign theater. That’s precisely why many comrades expect a reaction from Scholz, a signal, some kind of initiative. Does the traffic light stop? And what exactly is his plan?
A lot will depend on the next talks that Scholz is now holding with Lindner and Robert Habeck, the Green Economics Minister. According to reports, the three will meet in the Chancellery on Sunday for a confidential exchange. Then it’s off to a week that’s tough. The leadership of the FDP will meet for consultations on Monday. Americans will elect a new president on Tuesday. The coalition committee meets on Wednesday. A budget must be in place by mid-November. How, pray tell, is Scholz supposed to revive his chancellorship in this situation and give it new impetus? The star shows what options he now has.
