Germany's political landscape is abuzz as the SPD and Union parties finalize a historic financial package.

SPD leader Lars Klingbeil hailed the agreement as a move to strengthen Germany's role in Europe, calling it a "historic signal.

" The package, which includes a €500 billion investment in infrastructure and military spending, required intense negotiations with the Greens to secure their support.

However, tensions remain high, with the Greens demanding more transparency and fairness in the allocation of funds.

Meanwhile, opposition parties like the AfD and Left are pushing for judicial intervention to halt the process.

The deal's success is seen as a critical test for Friedrich Merz's leadership, even before his potential chancellorship begins.
