Für Investitionen in Infrastruktur wollen Union und SPD 500 Milliarden Euro über ein Sondervermögen bereitstellen. Verteidigungsausgaben sollen von Schuldenbremse ausgenommen werden. Die Entscheidung liegt nun beim Bundestag.
The Union and SPD have reached a historic agreement on a 500 billion euro package, to be funded through a special fund, aimed at modernizing Germany's infrastructure, including roads, railways, schools, kindergartens, and hospitals, while enhancing defense capabilities. This initiative, which excludes defense costs from the debt brake, involves key leaders like Söder, Merz, Klingbeil, and Esken, and seeks to address threats from Russia and potential US withdrawal from Europe. The package signals Germany's commitment to strength and unity, with plans for swift parliamentary action if a two-thirds majority is achieved.
