Union budget politicians are calling for changes to the federal budget

Berlin. After the dispute over tax reform, the next trouble is brewing in the coalition. Parts of the Union parliamentary group are increasingly critical of the high level of new debt - and want to change the budget that has already been decided in the parliamentary process.

“We now have to talk about what a sustainable and viable structure of federal finances should look like in the 2030s, after the special infrastructure fund has expired and as an exit strategy from the area exception,” said Union budget politician Yannick Bury to the Handelsblatt. The path to get there will take several years. This makes it all the more important to start the discussions now.
