BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 07: German Economy and Climate Action Minister and leading Greens Party member Robert Habeck speaks to the media the day after the collapse of the federal three-party coalition government on November 7, 2024 in Berlin, Germany. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner yesterday following weeks of disagreement over finance and economic policy. The result is an exodus by the Free Democratic Party (FDP) from the coalition, meaning the German Social Democrats (SPD) and Greens Party will govern as a minority government. Scholz announced he will submit himself to a vote of confidence in the Bundestag in January, with snap federal elections possible for March. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
