Billions of finance package: Last hurdle in the Federal Council is imminent!
The focus of German politics is a billion -dollar financial package that was laced by the Union and the SPD and will vote in the Federal Council next Friday. This crucial hurdle is necessary because a two -thirds majority is required for the change in the Basic Law. This majority is reached after Bavaria has also offered its support and the necessary voices are secured. In the country chamber, which has a total of 69 votes, 46 votes are necessary to approve the project. How OE24 reports, it is intended to loosen the strict requirements of the debt brake, which should open up more scope for expenses in areas such as defense and climate protection.
Previously, the Bundestag had already voted on the financial package, and there is an interesting tension: While the CDU, CSU and SPD are optimistic, the first deviations are shown in the Green Group. Some MPs have already announced not to agree in the Bundestag, which increases the uncertainty about the successful creation of the package. The former CDU general secretary Mario Czaja described the change in the Basic Law as "not generational" and expressed doubts about the honest reason. Despite these critical voices, the Union favors a positive decision in the Bundestag and southern German fears possible deviators in a trial vote. Minister Robert Habeck, on the other hand, shows himself as an advocate of the compromise between the parties, since in his opinion he has improved the package how daily show reported.
The financial foundation for Germany's future
The planned financial package stipulates that a new special fund is set up that does not fall under the debt brake and is to be filled with up to 500 billion euros. Part of these funds, 100 billion euros, is to flow directly to the countries, while additional funds are reserved for climate protection. It is also crucial that all expenses that go beyond 44 billion euros can be financed with loans in the future. These relief should not only renovate the infrastructure in Germany, but also make a significant contribution to climate protection, which puts politics under pressure to quickly implement these far -reaching changes.
