I believe this was the reason for the breakup? Lindner was categorically opposed to the request for more debt to finance the Ukraine war... Is that you're assessment as well, TomK?
Anyway, what a shitshow!

IMO the FDP came into big trouble in recent elections with incredible loss of confidence in their voter basis. That's why they crashed the coalition with this paper on econ reforms. It's the way it is usually done.
By the way: I worked in the press dept of the FDP when he joint as the youngest member in the history of a german state parliament our faction in Northrine-Westfalia. He's a clever guy, very warm-hearted but a Davosian asset.
It's all big theater.

I've heard the same about Lindner, that he's very clever and skilled rhetorically.
Thinking about it, he wouldn't be allowed anywhere near the levers of powers if he wasn't a Davosian asset.
