The German Bundestag is the lower house of parliament in Berlin. It is the centre of German politics.
In Germany it is known as Deutscher Bundestag, coincidentally the only elected chamber in German politics, very similar to the house of Commons in the UK.
The German Bundestag approved a €500 billion fund to boost defense and infrastructure spending, marking a significant shift from the country’s traditional fiscal conservatism. The legislation proposes easing Germany’s strict debt rules, allowing increased borrowing to enhance military capabilities and stimulate economic growth.
Germany’s Bundestag is poised to vote on a significant fiscal package that proposes amendments to longstanding debt policies, aiming to facilitate increased defence spending and establish a €500 billion infrastructure and climate fund.
The vote is seen as a response to Russia’s advances in Ukraine as the United States makes clear Europe can no longer rely on US protection from Russia.
Supporters of lifting the debt restrictions to boost defence spending say it’s essential for European security but there is also opposition. The decision could influence broader European defence initiatives, like the EU’s proposed €800 billion ReArm Europe fund.
The headlines dominating the UK news cover domestic and international politics, overnight terror in Gaza, protests over corruption and some lighter stories covering the upcoming Nations League matches and St Patrick’s Day celebrations.
