FDP Rejects Massive Finance Plan

Published: 2025-03-11

The FDP has strongly criticized the proposed finance package by the Union and SPD, which includes a €500 billion special fund for infrastructure and defense.

FDP leaders argue that the plan lacks meaningful reforms and relies too heavily on debt, potentially burdening future generations.

They propose an alternative: a €300 billion defense fund tied to NATO's spending goals, ensuring fiscal responsibility.

The FDP also opposes loosening Germany's debt brake, emphasizing the need for budgetary discipline.

With the FDP and Greens withholding support, the Union and SPD face challenges in securing the required two-thirds majority for constitutional changes.
