German Coalition in Crisis Over Fuel Prices

The debate over fuel prices has plunged the coalition in Germany into a deep crisis. The finance minister and the minister have publicly attacked each other, exacerbating tensions within the government. While Chancellor Olaf Scholz adopts a wait-and-see approach hoping for a resolution, columnist Hans-Ulrich Jörges expresses serious doubts about the coalition's stability. He believes they won't reach the end of the legislative term if internal conflicts remain unresolved. Citizens are increasingly worried about rising fuel prices and the uncertainty in political leadership. This situation could have far-reaching implications for upcoming elections and the general mood in the country.
