Financial package by the Hameks and Social Democrats provides for improvement in the Constitution of the alleged debt brakeprohibiting the government from expanding the budget deficit. The task envisages taking out defence spending exceeding 1% of GDP from the restrictions resulting from this "brake". Investments in defence will be able to be financed without restrictions from loans.

The amendment of the constitution requires a majority of 2 thirds in parliament. To get the essential votes, Chades and Social Democrats needed the support of the Green or Liberal FDP. Friday an agreement has been reached with the Greens.

Key understanding. "Germany takes large responsibility"

"More money, much more money to defend and Ukraine, will be able to flow due to the fact that it must flow," notes ARD — Tagesschau tv news portal. "Among the crumbling assurance that Europe's safety is guaranteed by the US and that NATO will deal with it somehow, Germany now takes large responsibility."

Tagesschau besides points out that Germany is likely to receive the largest investment programme in history infrastructure and climate protection. "Because a organization like the Greens who lost the election took work for the country and climate".

The magazine portal Spiegel estimates that CDU leader Friedrich Merz now has a chance to push through his package in the Bundestag – "and can thank the Greens for that. He inactive has a lot to learn. And as shortly as possible."

"Yes, Merz has now reached an agreement with the Greens," says Spiegel. "Money is desperately needed for partially damaged country infrastructure and for the Bundeswehr, who must now very rapidly become an army ready to fight, so Vladimir Putin has not come up with any ideas or, if he already has them, has abandoned them.” quite a few money will besides be allocated to climate protection (100 billion euro — ed.). “Everything went well again,” he said.

"However, this is not due to how skillfully Merz arranged the case. At first, he did not talk to the Greens, but practically assumed their consent. He then contacted and left a message on the voice mail. As far as we know, he did not make a very good impression on interior conversations, to put it mildly," we read.

"The Monarchs can act this way, the Democrats can't. At least not erstwhile they do not have a majority of two-thirds of the vote to change the constitution," he noted.

"Merz faces another challenges. Trump, Putin and Xi are waiting”

The weekly portal besides notes that "Merz faces completely different challenges". Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are waiting, "who, unlike the leaders of the Greens' parliamentary faction, Katharina Droege and Britta Hasselmann, do not mean the good of this country".

The diary portal Sueddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) comments that it is “good and right” that the Greens will support the package “despite their immense doubts”. "In fact, this is absolutely necessary. Otherwise They would hazard becoming past as a organization that plunged Europe into the deepest safety crisis since 1945. — due to the fact that they were offended.’ According to the SZ, "it would be a disaster for Germany and Europe".

“Without safety everything is nothing. It is difficult, brutally demanding times” “SZ” states that Merz has dared to take a very large step, which is now essential to enable Europe to trust again on Germany, “politically, economically and, if necessary, militarily”.
