Chancellor Scholz admits in a citizen dialogue in Berlin that the traffic light coalition presents a divided image, but emphasizes that differences with Finance Minister Lindner are rare. He expresses concern about the rise of right-wing extremist parties, which he attributes to uncertainty, irregular migration, and the Ukraine war.

Scholz recalls the coalition partners' previous promises to improve after disputes, which now seem to have been abandoned. He refers to wiretap-proof rooms in the Chancellery and reaffirms his course of supporting Ukraine.
