“Image”: SPD receives the Ministry of Finance
As the “photo” learned, the CDU/CSU received the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The SPD receives the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice. The trade union will therefore be able to devote itself to the promised turn in migration policy. For the first time in almost 60 years, the trade union will also be in the German most important diplomat in the middle of the most chaotic world-political situation for decades.
Even before the negotiations, the Union and the SPD were agreed with the support of the Greens about the basic reform of the debt rules. The federal government can set up an output pot of a maximum of 500 billion euros for investments in infrastructure and climate protection and also spend more money for defense. This basis made it easier to understand.

Merz could be chosen at the beginning of May if the new Chancellor

The measures must also include extensive investments in streets, rails and other infrastructure that have been neglected in recent decades. With pressure from the Greens due to debt reform, 100 billion euros also have to flow into climate and transforming funds. The purpose of climate neutrality was also anchored in the basic law by 2045.
