Scholz secret meeting: future of the traffic light coalition on the brink!

In a dramatic advance without a preliminary show for the press, Chancellor Olaf Scholz meets on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. with representatives of the industrial associations, unions and large companies in the Chancellery. No pictures or statements should penetrate the public - the Chancellor wants to design politics behind closed doors. "We have to get away from the theater stages," emphasizes Scholz the urgency to finally find solutions for the shaken economy together.

But two key figures are left out: Minister of Economics Robert Habeck from the Greens and Finance Minister Christian Lindner from the FDP, his critical coalition partners! This rebellion leads to inner tensions in the traffic light coalition, which is already on the brink. Habeck reacts with an impulse paper in which he demands a billion -dollar investment fund, while Lindner calls his own counter -summit in the Reichstag building at short notice, only five hours before Scholz ’. A truly political theater that questions the future of the coalition!

The burning challenges

With the impending second recession in a row, Germany is on the abyss - companies and private individuals are hesitating with investments in the face of the tense geopolitical situation. Economic research institutes speak of a catastrophic increase in political uncertainty, while the traffic light partners draw in different directions. In fact, business associations have long been demanding rapid reforms: lower energy prices and less bureaucracy are just a few of the demands to get the economy going again.

Before the summit, Jörg Dittrich, President of the Central Association of German Crafts, increases the pressure: "The economic data is waning to a hurry! A common, coherent government plan is necessary." But Scholz is unprepared for negotiations and is increasingly persecuted by his coalition colleagues. The finance minister urges comprehensive structural reforms that also have to include medium -sized companies and free professions. At the same time, Habeck appeals for a financial scope of medium -sized three -digit billions of billions to support companies. Can this explosive mixture ultimately lead to sustainable solutions, or is the coalition facing inevitable?
