BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 07: New Finance Minister Joerg Kukies (L), Economy and Climate Minister Robert Habeck (C) and Chancellor Olaf Scholz attend a session of the Bundestag in which Kukies was sworn in the day after Scholz fired previous Finance Minister Christian Lindner on November 7, 2024 in Berlin, Germany. Scholz's move comes after weeks of growing rifts between Lindner and other coalition leaders over finance policy. The result is an exodus by the Free Democratic Party (FDP) from the three-party coalition, meaning the German Social Democrats (SPD) and Greens Party will govern as a minority government. Scholz announced he will submit himself to a vote of confidence in the Bundestag in January, with snap federal elections possible for March. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
