The Greens from Germany have threatened to block the country's fiscal reformwhich seeks to modify the debt brake and stimulate the economy, although they do not rule out reaching an agreement with the new German chancellor, Friedrich Merzif their requests are heard, which initially include a stricter control over defense spending. The game has gathered this Monday with the CDU and the SPD To try to reach an agreement that saves the German fiscal plan, and according to 'Bloomberg', it has presented a plan that includes a hardening of restrictions on defense spending. «We are responsible for our country, but we are not available to finance by debt the electoral gifts of the CDU and the SPD. The union is creating a treasure chest for itself and it is supposed to approve their fictional money. Instead, instead, instead, instead, instead, instead, We need sustainable reforms for additional investments in our safety, our infrastructure and climate«He stood out in 'X' Franziska BantnerCollide of the Green Party. Last week a historical agreement was completed in Germany to reform the debt brake and stimulate the economy. The Conservatives of the CDU, Merz's party, and the Social Democrats of the SPD, agreed to create an infrastructure fund of 500,000 million euros to 10 years and reform the debt brake, with the aim of promoting economic growth and increasing defense spending. The result of the elections on February 23 left the CDU and his sister Bávara CSU with options to govern in a great coalition with the SPD. However, The AFD and the left have more than a third of the seats in the new Bundestag And, therefore, they can block changes in the Constitution. Therefore, centrist parties plan to boost the reform through outgoing Bundestag before the new one meets, in which The CDU/CSU and the SPD together with the Greens had about 71% of the seats. The new Bundestag must meet no later than March 25. With this panorama, the negotiations are far from finishing and they seem complex, since Bantner has no intention of giving up his aspirations. «We will not allow us to blackmail us, nor will we allow Friedrich Merz and Lars Klingbeil to abuse the difficult European security situation. This is something that does not use the country or our interests in Europe, «he added. The other collide of the party, Katharina Drogeit has a similar vision, despite Recognize that the country needs a debt brake reform If you want to maintain your power. «We urgently need a debt brake reform: for security, to support Ukraine, for a sustainable economy, for the fight against the climatic crisis, due to an infrastructure that works. But billions indebted without a future strategy? Not with us!«He said.
