The Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) are attempting to change Germany's constitution to authorize new debt, requiring a two-thirds majority in the Bundestag, which meets on March 25. The recent elections saw a shift in power with a decrease in center-left representation and a rise in far-left and far-right influence. This outgoing parliament aims to address urgent funding for military and infrastructure before the new government officially convenes, reflecting an extraordinary political landscape characterized by instability and negotiations.
"The center-left and center-right are seeking unprecedented amounts of new debt, requiring constitutional changes that need the approval of two-thirds of the newly elected Bundestag."
"The balance of power has shifted, with center-left and center-right parties weakened, and far left and far right parties capturing over a third of the seats."
