The old Bundestag in Berlin can still vote over a billion dollar defense and infrastructure package from the Union and SPD. The German Constitutional Court has rejected urgent proposals from other parties against the special session. A change in the basic law is necessary for the package, which also offers billions for Ukraine.
The planned changes to the basic law must enable the future German federal government to accept debts for the same amount. The AfD faction, individual MPs of AfD, FDP, Left Party and BSW, as well as the parliamentary deputy Joana Cotar, oppose the special meeting of the old Bundestag-Die should ultimately be formed on 25 March.
The court had already rejected similar applications on Friday. The old Bundestag can therefore still decide on various changes in the basic law. The loosening of the debt for defense expenditure and for the federal states is planned. In addition, a special fund of 500 billion euros must be set up for extra investments in the infrastructure and to achieve climate neutrality by 2045. With this state this was linked to the greens.
In principle, the three parties had agreed on the templates last week. A majority of two thirds in parliament are necessary for the planned change in the basic law articles 109, 115 and 143. The Federal Council must agree to the changes on Friday.
After authorization, the Union and the SPD are a simple majority
Before 2025, black and red will therefore receive extra reach of 18.76 billion euros in the household, as the result of a compilation of household approaches via the FDP housekeeper Otto Fricke. By 2028, the scope would be 67.43 billion euros if seven billion euros is accepted annually as military help from Ukraine. The newly elected Bundestag only decides with the respective federal budget for which the money is spent in specific conditions. The majority of the Union and SPD are sufficient.
