The Free Democratic Party (FDP) has decided to withdraw its support for Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s proposed legislation aimed at combating cold progression in taxation. FDP leader Christian Lindner criticized the compromises within the bill, stating that the party cannot endorse them anymore. The Social Democrats (SPD) and Greens are reliant on the FDP’s support to pass the legislation before the forthcoming Bundestag election, yet the opposition, led by the CDU, advocates for action only post-election.
