The collapse of the ruling "traffic light" coalition after the departure of 4 SDP ministers from the government. Jörg Kukis named finance minister
In November 2024, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner on charges of public spending problems.
The departure of the politician - a member of the Free Democratic Party of Germany - provoked other members of the organization to follow his example: after Lindner, the ministers of transport, justice and education left the government. A yellow light fell from the "traffic light coalition," which led to its actual collapse.
The main reason for the disagreement was Lindner's proposals to improve the economy, including reducing the cost of solving environmental problems and increasing the operating time of coal plants. However, this categorically did not suit the colleagues of the head of the Ministry of Finance from the Social Democratic Party and the Greens.
Germany's new finance minister is former Goldman Sachs banker Jörg Kukis, who has worked with Scholz since 2018 when he was invited to be secretary of state at the Treasury. At the time, Scholz served as Minister of Finance.
When Scholz became chancellor in 2021, he appointed Kukis as his top economic adviser. He was also Germany's sherpa at international summits such as the G7 and G20 meetings.
Scholz also called for a special election.
