"Merz stated, "we will do whatever it takes" to enhance defence spending, revealing a commitment to counter threats and protect freedom across Europe."
"The CDU's plan involves a â¬500 billion infrastructure fund aimed at revitalizing Germany's economy, which is facing potential recession for three consecutive years."
Friedrich Merz, likely Germany's next chancellor, announced plans to propose a significant financial package focused on defence and infrastructure in coalition talks with the SPD. This plan includes exempting some defence spending from Germany's debt brake, allowing for potential spending of â¬45 billion, alongside a special fund of â¬500 billion for infrastructure improvements over the next decade. With the German economy struggling and facing a possible third year of recession, these proposals aim to stimulate growth and enhance national security amidst rising global threats.
