The ruling coalition in Germany is experiencing increased infighting due to Finance Minister Christian Lindner's economic proposals being heavily criticized by coalition partners.

Lindner, who is the leader of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), recently presented a position paper advocating for tax cuts and a more gradual approach to emissions reductions. However, these proposals were quickly dismissed by prominent figures from the Social Democratic Party and the Green Party, raising concerns about the stability of the coalition.

This discord highlights the challenges of aligning diverse political agendas within the three-party government, as officials grapple with economic strategies in the face of ongoing fiscal pressures.
