Recent reports reveal that the Free Democratic Party (FDP) may have been planning for the end of Germany’s coalition government since late September, igniting backlash from coalition partners. SPD politicians expressed shock over the FDP’s purported strategy sessions and internal documents indicating preparations to end the ‘Traffic Light’ coalition. Tensions escalated with mutual accusations of provoking the coalition’s collapse, particularly following comments from the new Federal Finance Minister, Jörg Kukies. The situation raises questions about responsibility and accountability within the government.
