FDP leader Lindner accused him of a calculated break in the coalition. The Chancellor contradicts – and defends his clear words.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz has contradicted the accusation that he calculatedly caused the breakup of his traffic light coalition. “I didn’t provoke him,” said the SPD politician on the ARD program “Caren Miosga”. He fought until the end to ensure that the three-party constellation of SPD, Greens and FDP remained together, but in the end that was not possible. “I have endured the fact that I have repeatedly, sometimes with a good face, turned a pretty nasty game into a compromise and cooperation. But when it is over, then it must be over,” said Scholz.
The Chancellor also defended his public, personal reckoning with FDP leader Christian Lindner. “It was decent, clear and clear and very understandable for all citizens,” he said. He was often asked to hit the table more often. At the same time, he emphasized: “Without my repeated efforts to cooperate and compromise, the government would not have lasted for so long. It would not even have come into being.”
