Only 23 percent said they were satisfied with the government coalition, consisting of the Social Democrats, the Greens and the business-friendly FDP party. 66 percent said they were not satisfied with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Only 26 percent said he's doing a good job. And yet, only one in three, or 35 percent, of Germans said they believed the coalition may fall apart before the regular end of their term in office. Some 45 percent of Germans said the government will stay in office as planned- until the next elections in the year 2025.
After weeks of infighting, Free Democrat Finance Minister Christian Lindner and Green Family Minister Lisa Paus have come to an agreement. He's giving her more money to tackle child poverty. It's not the first time the three-way coalition of Social Democrats, Free Democrats and Greens has had to settle a row. Now they are fighting over how to help the economy. The coalition has promised to end the fight at a two-day Cabinet retreat behind closed doors, with many calling for more leadership from the chancellor.
Why is there so much infighting in this 3-way coalition?
