German Chancellor Scholz said that due to the lack of a "foundation of trust for cooperation," Finance Minister Lindner has been dismissed. The German coalition government consists of the Social Democratic Party, the Green Party, and the Free Democratic Party, with Lindner serving as the chairman of the Free Democratic Party. He once again proposed to advance the parliamentary lower house election, originally scheduled for January of next year, to early next year, but was rejected by Scholz. Christian Dürr, the parliamentary leader of the Free Democratic Party, announced on the evening of the same day that all ministers from the FDP would withdraw from the coalition government.

Scholz said at a press conference that evening that he proposed a vote of confidence in the government by the Bundestag in January next year. German media believe that Scholz hopes to maintain a minority government until the vote of confidence.
