Germany's CDU, CSU, and SPD are progressing towards a coalition government, driven by CDU Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz's concessions to the Greens for a 500 billion euro investment fund. This fund requires constitutional changes and support from the Greens for successful passage. The planned amendment emphasizes climate neutrality by 2045, raising questions about its impact on infrastructure priorities. Despite concerns from conservatives, experts like Udo Di Fabio argue that it does not enforce climate neutrality as a constitutional requirement.
The planned special fund of 500 billion is earmarked for "investments in infrastructure and for additional investments to achieve climate neutrality by 2045."
Former judge Udo Di Fabio believes it doesn't establish climate neutrality as a state objective or subordinate other infrastructure investments.
