German advisor Freders Mirz agreed to an agreement with the Green Party to pump hundreds of billions into military infrastructure and aging in the country, which paves the way for the adoption of a package of spending by Parliament next week.

the VegetableWho threatened earlier this week to prevent the deal, and obtained concessions from MERZ, including more investment in green transition and expansion of additional defense spending to cover Ukraine’s support, civil protection, information technology and intelligence agencies.

“There will be no shortage of financial resources to defend freedom and peace on our continent.” Mirz He said on Friday. “Germany has returned. Germany provides a great contribution to the defense of freedom and peace in Europe.”

In another mark on the support of Mirz’s plans, the country’s constitutional court rejected on Friday the legal challenges by the far -right alternative to the German party (AFD) and Linke dies the extremist left, seeking to stop the parliamentary vote on the package.

The leader of participating in the Greens in the German Parliament, Catherina Dorg, said that her party wants to “make sure that the money that has been borrowed is actually investing in the future, in a modern economy.” As part of the settlement, the planned infrastructure fund will be allocated 500 billion euros over the next 12 years for the green transition.

Mirz needed Greens support to pass his motivation package by two -thirds majority in the emergency session of the old parliament on Tuesday.

Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU) and its partner, the potential alliance, the Social Democratic Party (SPD), are still getting a superficial wage with the Greens in the old association – but he no longer does so in the new Bundestag, which was elected in February and was appointed to take office this month.

Merz agreed last week with SPD to reduce the maximum strict constitutional borrowing of the country for defensive spending and the establishment of a fund worth 500 billion euros to update the transportation, energy, health and communications infrastructure in Germany – which moves more than two decades of financial province.

The plan, which requires constitutional changes, would enhance the largest economy in Europe, which is what The recession was for more than five yearsEconomists and defense experts said Germany is ready to play a greater role in the continent’s security.

“In the essence, it creates a much more deadline for the government in infrastructure and defense,” said Armin Steinbach, a HEC professor. “The new financial ceiling for Germany’s budget will be the financial rules of the European Union, and the German religious brake is no longer.”

German borrowing costs have increased since Mirz has made his spending plan, which allows unlimited borrowing of defensive spending, as investors are betting at a significant increase in the issuance of bonds and the most brighter economic prospects for Germany.

The return on factors increased for 10 years to 2.94 percent on Friday, its highest level since October 2023. The euro rose 0.4 percent to $ 1.089, praising its gains against the dollar to more than 5 percent.

Al -Khidr said earlier this week that they would oppose the package, which prompted Mirz to indicate He was ready to make concessions.

Perhaps this settlement was the largest mountain [Merz] Steinbach said:

On Friday, a decisive legal obstacle was overcome when the Constitutional Court ruled that the outgoing Bundestag can adopt such basic decisions.

However, the constitutional amendments should also be supported by the Punarat, the upper parliament of Parliament, which represents the 16 -thirds states of the country, must also be supported by a majority. The Bands are scheduled to vote on the package on March 21.

CDU, SPD and Greens, who together lack two -thirds of the seats in the Bonndarat, will need to beat the free, conservative voters, who rule in Bavaria with the Sister CDU party, CSU, or the liberal FDP, which is located in the load governments in two cases. Both FDP and the free free voters oppose the country’s debt brakes.
