Europe's largest economy was thrown into disarray this week with the collapse of Scholz's three-way coalition and disagreements over how much money the government should spend to spur growth and support Ukraine. Habeck's Greens Party, which is part of Scholz's ruling coalition, had blocked the export of weapons of war to Israel in the past months, fearing that deliveries may constitute violations of international law.
In a shock power move, Scholz sacked his troublesome finance minister Christian Lindner, forcing the FDP out of the coalition and leaving the SPD and the Greens ruling in a precarious minority government.
