Destiné à réarmer et moderniser l’Allemagne, ce programme de dépenses sans précédent nécessite des changements constitutionnels. Le futur chancelier Friedrich Merz a obtenu le soutien des députés écologistes, lui donnant la majorité nécessaire pour le vote mardi.
In Germany, future Chancellor Friedrich Merz secured the support of Green party deputies for his massive investment plan to rearm and modernize the country, requiring constitutional changes. This agreement, reached on March 14th, provides Merz with the necessary two-thirds majority for the Bundestag vote scheduled for the following Tuesday. The plan, involving a special fund of 500 billion euros over ten years, aims to boost military spending and infrastructure, with a portion earmarked for climate measures. The pressure is on Merz to pass the plan before the new Bundestag convenes on March 25th, when extremist parties will have blocking minority.
