Tjarks demands 600 billion for Germany's dilapidated infrastructure!

In a comprehensive advance, Hamburg's traffic senator Anjes Tjarks (Greens) called for a massive renovation of the German infrastructure. His vision provides for an impressive investment program of 600 billion euros, which should not only be financed through loans, but also includes a reform of the debt brake. With this approach, Tjarks would like to tackle a number of challenges that are currently plagued by Germany, including dilapidated bridges and a non -functional transport system.

tjarks appeals to politics to deal more strongly with the fundamental needs of the country. "The middle has to take care of the middle again," he said, undergoting this call with the knowledge that a growth agenda was urgently necessary to control the country in a positive direction. The Senator emphasized that offensive measures had to be taken to counteract the obvious deficits, such as inefficiency in data transmission and poor digitization.

tjarks' focus on infrastructure and growth

In his analysis, Tjarks found that everyone knew that the train had to be improved and that the motorway bridges were in desolate state. "Why isn't something finally done?" he asked in an urgent tone. His conviction is clear: the necessary investment should quickly pay off by not only improving the infrastructure, but also boosting economic growth. Tjarks referred to studies by the German Economy Institute, which estimates the enormous investment gap over 600 billion euros in the next ten years.

tjarks ’plan provides to procure this sum through loans without fully tipping the debt brake. His statements suggest that the debt rate, assuming zero growth, would probably increase to 65 percent. Despite concerns about borrowing, Tjarks sees the need to invest in the infrastructure in order to generate a positive effect in the long term. "But we would get healed bridges, good train and decent data communication," he added.

The role of the Greens

The pressure on the Greens increases, the party is in a critical moment. Tjarks expressed optimistically about the possibility that the party could largely support in his proposals. He demands an internal debate about his own positions to work together on the desired turn. This could also include the modernization of wind and solar energy projects in which the party has already shown success without unnecessary bureaucracy.

A focus on a comprehensive growth agenda could make Germany a hotspot for private investors again, Tjarks is convinced. However, he warns against being lost in secondary discussions, such as supposed grill bans, which are not relevant in the public debate. In the coming months it will be decisive how Tjarks and his party tackle these challenges and whether they can set the necessary impulses for infrastructure and economic reform.
