Germany's ruling coalition, known as the "traffic light" coalition, is on the brink of collapse as internal conflicts intensify.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, and Finance Minister Christian Lindner are publicly clashing over economic policies, each promoting different strategies to tackle the ongoing recession.
The coalition, composed of the SPD, Greens, and FDP, must find a compromise on the 2025 budget by November 15 to avoid a premature breakup.
The economic crisis, marked by a shrinking economy and potential industrial exodus, demands decisive action, yet the coalition's disunity hampers progress.
The lack of a unified approach is exacerbating political uncertainty, further stalling consumption and investment in the country.
