The German coalition government, comprising the SPD, Greens, and FDP, is facing internal tensions as key figures clash over economic strategies.

Finance Minister Christian Lindner and Economics Minister Robert Habeck are at the center of the dispute, with Lindner pushing for a "Wirtschaftswende" or economic turnaround, which he argues is necessary for growth.

Habeck, on the other hand, has proposed using freed-up funds from delayed Intel subsidies to plug budget gaps, a move criticized by some FDP members as insufficient.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz remains optimistic about the coalition's future, emphasizing the importance of pragmatism over ideology.

As the coalition prepares for further discussions, the pressure mounts to find a unified approach to economic and financial policies.
