Political professionals – and who would doubt that Christian Lindner is a political professional – of course know what it takes to work your way out of the defensive. Before you sit down with your colleagues in the cabinet to discuss a way out of the malaise, you first need a public liberation. So the finance minister initially made his change of heart with the picture on sunday placed, to then follow up with “Anne Will” in the evening. Lindner is now also ticking off the controversial gas levy, the originator of which is his coalition enemy Robert Habeck, and joins the chorus of those who are calling for a gas price brake instead.
