Tensions are rising within Germany's coalition government as Finance Minister Christian Lindner of the FDP presents a controversial economic reform plan.

His 18-page document, titled "Wirtschaftswende Deutschland," calls for sweeping changes, including the abolition of the solidarity surcharge and a shift in climate policy.

These proposals have been met with resistance from coalition partners SPD and the Greens, who argue that Lindner's ideas are not feasible within the current government framework.

SPD leaders, including Saskia Esken and Lars Klingbeil, have dismissed Lindner's plan as unworkable, emphasizing that it reflects only the FDP's stance.

The situation places pressure on Chancellor Olaf Scholz to navigate these internal conflicts, as the coalition faces potential instability.

The SPD remains focused on finding common ground to stabilize Germany's economic future, despite the ongoing disputes.
