Chancellor Olaf Scholz's push for reform clashed with former Finance Minister Christian Lindner's strict adherence to the rule, leading to early elections in February. As the new coalition forms, debates on the future of the debt brake and potential fiscal reforms are expected, with varying opinions on the necessity and extent of changes.
