Germany's coalition government, led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, is facing internal tensions over economic and financial policies.

Scholz has urged his coalition partners, the FDP and the Greens, to focus on pragmatic solutions rather than ideological differences.

This call comes amid economic challenges following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has impacted energy supplies and prices.

Scholz emphasized the importance of modernizing the economy and securing jobs, urging the coalition to work seriously and collaboratively.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Christian Lindner of the FDP has proposed a shift in economic policy, which has intensified debates within the coalition.

Despite these tensions, leaders from the SPD, FDP, and Greens have expressed their commitment to maintaining the coalition and addressing the economic crisis together.

The coalition aims to finalize the 2025 budget and strengthen Germany's economy, with upcoming meetings planned to resolve differences and ensure stability.
