Ministers from Greens and FDP fall out over redistributive role of the state
After taking office in December 2021 the novel alliance of Social Democrats , Greens and liberal Free Democrats held steady on pandemic measures while making a radical pivot on military exports for Ukraine and greater defence spending.
As senior FDP officials briefed darkly about “blackmail”, Lindner, smarting after a cancelled press conference, went on the warpath. Spending more money on families was not always a good idea, he said, “given the link between child poverty and immigration”. The Linder-Paus row – about the redistributive role of the state – reveals a major fault line over which Scholz now has to position himself.
Instead of tax breaks for business, or Linder’s dream of a balanced budget, many in the SPD would prefer to see Berlin spend its way out of technical recession with major infrastructure investment.
