The government of Germany has collapsed after the FDP party withdrew its support for the ruling coalition.
Germany’s three-party ruling coalition collapsed on Wednesday evening after Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced he would fire his Finance Minister Christian Lindner over persistent disagreements about economic reforms.
Many in Germany had hoped that the victory of Donald Trump in the U.S. election earlier in the day would force the coalition to hold together over fears that the incoming president would give Europe’s biggest economy a hard ride — targeting its all-important car industry in a trade war.
Ultimately, however, not even the looming threat of Trump proved enough for the fractious parties to put aside their differences.
Elections will likely have to be called.
HT REMARK: The leftists are finished everywhere. Humanity has had enough of their attacks. The greatest threat to humanity in history is the far left and they are now being dealt with by the people they have been attacking.
UPDATE 8:11 PM EST --
Germany's Chancellor Scholz: There will be a Vote of confidence in January, potential snap election in March.
