Germany returned, says Merz after a historical defense transaction and costs

German Conservative leader Friedrich Merz accepted a huge financial package to refurbish the defense and infrastructure, ahead of the voting in parliament next Tuesday.

The Merz, which seeks to head the government with the Social Democrats in the coming weeks, is in a hurry to hold a great stimulus in the cost of defense and creaking infrastructure.

After winning the last month’s election, he stated that it was his absolute priority to strengthen Europe as President Donald Trump was indifferent to his fate.

After 10 hours of talks with herbs, he said that the transaction sent a clear message to the allies of his country: “Germany is back.”

He added: “Germany contributes to the defense of freedom and peace in Europe.”

The Merz, which is expected to become the next German chancellor, offers to receive debt and expense reforms through the weekend parliament before recently elected MPs will be able to take their places in the Bundestag on March 25.

The far -right alternative for the German Party (AFD) has doubled the number of deputies and may endanger the cost of the measure if it does not survive on time. The left party also objects to the reforms.

According to the German Constitution, Merz needs most two -thirds to move the changes. With the support of the Green and the Social Democrats, it must succeed.

Urgent petitions of both the AUD and the left to dispute, next week on Friday, the Constitutional Court failed in the Constitutional Court, which allowed to vote forward.

The leader of the Conservative Christian Democrat said that the three-party plan agreed by his party, the Social Democrats and the greens:

• A great stimulus in defense costs, civil defense and exploration – with more than 1% of GDP (economic products) exempt from debt restrictions
• Special Infrastructure Fund 500 billion euros (£ 420 billion for additional investments over 10 years, including 100 billion euros to cover climate protection initiatives
• 16 German states will be allowed to lend up to 0.35% of GDP above the debt limit.

Protection plans also allow you to spend on helping states that have “attacked international law” from the so -called debt.

This would allow the Chancellor, Olaf Sholts to release 3 billion euros to help Ukraine next week.

The last German government fell apart in late 2024 because of the disagreement over the debt restriction, given by the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel during the financial crisis in 2009.

This meant that the government could not borrow more than 0.35% of the gross economic production of Germany, while the country’s railway and bridge infrastructure crept from many years of shortcomings, and ministers tried to increase military expenses.

Social Democrat Chairman Lars Kalingbel said the agreement sent a “historical signal” on Friday, which will make the country stronger and “strengthen the role of Germany in Europe”.

Although the greens were in the old government, they would not be part of the Merz Coalition. However, the party was delighted with the fact that it was fixed at 100 billion euros to finance the climate “in the right direction”.

The Foreign Minister of Greens Analen Baerbok also welcomed the defensive package, as it did not just make Germany safer, but sending “a clear signal to Ukraine, Europe and the world”.

Germany is responsible in tumultuous times, she added.

AFD officer Alice Weidel was less amazed and accused Merz of bending the constitution and loading future generations with a “giant weight”.

“It’s no less than a financial coup,” she complained.
