Scholz triggered this path to new elections on 23 February by firing his finance minister Christian Lindner last month, which led Lindner’s Free Democrats to leave the government, robbing it of a majority. The dramatic developments came after months of fighting over fiscal and ideological differences that finally became too much for Germany’s first three-way federal coalition to bear. The center-left Social Democrats and environmentalist Greens will continue running the country until a new government can be formed.
