In a dramatic turn of events, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner, amid revelations of a planned exit strategy from the coalition government by the Free Democratic Party (FDP). The party’s internal document, dubbed ‘D-Day’, outlines a strategy for moving away from the governing coalition, leaving the party facing a survival battle ahead of upcoming elections. Lindner’s leadership is now under scrutiny, as questions arise about his knowledge of the party’s plans and the trustworthiness of the FDP as a potential governing party.
