Not a good day in Germany, said Foreign Minister Baerbock
After the collapse of the coalition government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that it is not a good day in Germany.
And “it's not a good day for Europe,” a Green Party politician said outside the Chancellery in Berlin late Wednesday.
Europe has a responsibility for peace on its continent and in Ukraine, asserts Baerbock.
He noted that, due to the consequences of the war in Ukraine, the government had to make an exception to the strict fiscal rules known as the credit brake.
The debt brake is enshrined in the country's constitution.
The Greens had entered the coalition, but it was not possible to reach an agreement, he added.
