It's not that we are all satisfied with what's going on in Berlin but that doesn't mean we should stop governing; it just means that we as the (Free Democrats) must get better and more assertive in the coalition, and we're working on that now," said Wolfgang Kubicki, a deputy party leader.
A ruling by Germany's highest court that forced a hasty and still-unfinished rework of plans for the 2024 budget, complete with higher levies and spending cuts, has added to the problems.
