Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

MODERATORS
The language used by Chancellor Scholz is the harshest and most direct we have ever heard from him. He must be very angry indeed and I fully understand him.
Nah, he was way more furious when Macron hinted that European leaders should consider sending troops to Ukraine.
Are there any specifics as to what the major disagreement was on, or has been in the past? All the article has is:
So I'm assuming that Lindner wants more-economically-liberal policy than Scholz does?
Is there reason to believe that there's sufficient public support in elections to form a red-green coalition, or is it likely that the SDP and Greens would be out of government in a new election?

That doesn't sound very good for them.
If they're out, and the AfD has been at record-high levels of support, does that mean maybe an incoming AfD government?
AfD in charge of Germany would be the double seal of confirmation that we're in one of the bad timelines.
Lindner has been torpedoing this coalition every chance he got, for years. He's a blatant hypocrite, an industry mole without morals or principles who only cares about deregulation for his billionaire constituents. He took it as his responsibility to undermine and tranquilize a progressive government during an already scary shift towards right-wing populism.
Currently polling would basicaly mean the center right CDU/CSU would be chancellor, with a coalition with either the social democrats or Greens. Both would be enough for some comfortable leads. The AFD could also be an option, but I highly doubt it.
AfD is far behind the CDU at a national level, and if the center left vote was united they would also be comfortably behind that hypothetical coalition. The problem is that with current opinion polls the government would probably need to be an equally unstable coalition between CDU, SPD, and Greens.
Were do you get your polls. Current average would be easily enough for CDU and SPD or Greens. So a two party coalition, which would probably work rather well. https://dawum.de/Bundestag/
It really depends on the poll( https://www.wahlrecht.de/umfragen/ ) depending on which poll you take its very likely a close call if CDU and SPD can form a coalition. However I think its quite unlikely they would take the greens after everything the CDU said about them.
No, it is not. 5% hurdle means Linke, FDP and the other small parties will not get seats. In some polls they have combined 16% of the vote. So the coalition does not need 50% of the vote, but a bit less then 45%.
Currently I think its much more likely that the CDU will form a coalition with SPD and BSW than with the greens.

I guess integrating YouTube-videos with "!" does not work for kbin and also fails for Lemmy and its apps. I think it would be better just to post the link without the markdown notation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dLkmkSffFoinstead ofIt's just mbin now. And just posting the link does not give an embedded player.
Ah now I see it. That mbin webinterface actually embedds it. Jerboa just provides an unloadable picture instead. And the lemmy webinterface displays the url but not as an usable link.
The link in this message is totally fucked up in the lemmy webinterface. 😀
The
https://fedia.iopart is the actual link, the/m/europe@feddit.orgpart is linked tohttps://feddit.org/c/europe@feddit.organd everything after that is just plain text.Yeah, you'd have to open a Github issue for Lemmy & Jerboa for that, if there isn't one already. No idea why they parse URLs this badly.
There he was louder/yelling but what he said is in my opinion way less „direct“. But yes, thats also one of Scholzes stronger moments.
Unfortunately the best part is cut out and I can't find a longer version of this at the moment but he's at some point pretty aggressively calling out the hecklers alleged "pacifism".
