Germany's political landscape is in turmoil as calls for a new federal election intensify.

CSU leader Markus Söder has demanded immediate elections, labeling the current coalition government as dysfunctional and a national embarrassment.

This follows the release of a policy paper by FDP leader Christian Lindner, which has been criticized as a declaration of bankruptcy for the coalition.

Söder argues that the coalition's internal conflicts and lack of coordinated action are damaging the country.

CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann echoed these sentiments, stating that the government is too unstable to continue.

Former SPD leader Sigmar Gabriel also criticized the coalition, suggesting that its current state fosters political anger and extremism.

The coalition's inability to agree on economic measures to boost the sluggish economy has further fueled the crisis, with speculation about the timing of new elections already underway.
