Merz: We want to build the strongest army in Europe

This was an effort at a thorough reconstruction of the Bundeswehr and a debate on the restoration of the German conscription. By default, plans presume the creation of a 260-thousandth army by 2030, although there is no agreement from the coalitions on the form in which the military service is to be reinstated. But that is not all. For a long time, Chancellor Merz has announced that the West Germany has loosened its fiscal policy to increase its military spending. The peculiar fund was intended to supply an additional EUR 500 billion, which would not only strengthen the armed forces, but besides let for the renewal of infrastructure.
