CNN —Germany’s governing coalition has collapsed after disagreements over the country’s weak economy led Chancellor Olaf Scholz to sack his finance minister.
The coalition has been at loggerheads over how to revive Germany’s economy.
What problems is Germany’s economy facing?
Germany’s economy, Europe’s largest, shrank last year for the first time since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Party leader Alice Weidel has already hailed the coalition’s collapse as a “liberation” for Germany.
