The German coalition government is embroiled in a heated dispute over economic policy direction, with key figures clashing over separate initiatives.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz has organized a summit with industry leaders to address economic challenges, while Finance Minister Christian Lindner has scheduled a competing meeting with other economic representatives, sparking criticism from coalition partners.
SPD's Rolf Mützenich labeled Lindner's actions as disruptive, accusing him of undermining Scholz's efforts.
Meanwhile, Robert Habeck, the Economy Minister, remains unfazed, advocating for a Germany Fund to boost investment.
The discord highlights the coalition's struggle to present a unified front amid economic pressures, with calls for decisive leadership growing louder.
