Industrial summit in Berlin: turmoil at the traffic light coalition!

In a dramatic political move, the top of the FDP, led by finance minister Christian Lindner, blown to attack! In front of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's self-confident industrial summit, the FDP calls for clear “directional decisions” of the traffic light coalition in order to give the troubled economy new impetus. While speculation about the impending end of the coalition is in the room, Lindner brings the entire government to a duty: "There is also something like a government obligation, and for Germany it is always better if a government finds a common direction." But there were clear results at the meeting with business representatives - it was more about political survival than about future -oriented strategies.

chaos and disagreement in the peaks

The latest industrial summit that Scholz put on the sole director has revealed the tensions within the coalition. Economic Minister Robert Habeck from the Greens called for a billion -dollar fund for investments in an impulse paper - a proposal that is difficult to implement with Lindner. In the middle of this political turbulence, the FDP mobilized its own “opposite summit” just a few hours before Scholz ', and even in the shadow of the Reichstag building!

Christian Dürr, the FDP faction leader, made it clear: "Germany should play again in the Champions League!" But reality looks bleak: forecasts predict another year of the recession. Business associations are urgent on urgent reforms such as lower energy prices and combating the shortage of skilled workers. The traffic light coalition has announced measures, but the implementation remains behind the expectations. In the meantime, Scholz puts pressure on with his "new industrial policy agenda", but the FDP requires a more comprehensive approach that is considering all economic sectors.

The crucial sticking point? The household! Lindner demands that the coalitioners soon come together, because the time pressure for the upcoming budget meeting is enormous. On November 14th, the decisive adjustment meeting of the budget committee is pending. Ultimately, an attempt at an agreement could decide whether the coalition fails on the abyss or fights back into the game. The air becomes thin! Time for clear edge!
