Germany's ruling coalition has collapsed after facing insurmountable differences within the government.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz was not prepared to implement a new economic policy.
This was stated in an interview with Berliner Zeitung by the former Minister of Economy and leader of the FDP, which was part of the coalition, Christian Lindner.
He explained that the ruling "traffic light" coalition in Germany had blocked itself.
Lindner said the state tries to interfere in everything, but does not solve important problems.
In his opinion, a well-off Germany has the ability to solve important problems, but costs are growing faster than profits.
The politician emphasized that there are good people, progressive ideas and capital in Germany, and all that is needed is the will to take on the implementation of tasks.
Lindner also said that Germany's economic policy will depend on voters.
The ex-minister insists on its formation from the very bottom, and not by injecting subsidies into individual sectors.
Germany, in his opinion, should delay the transition to green energy in order to save billions of euros.
He also called for staff cuts to ease the burden on citizens and businesses.
