Lindner is calling for radical changes to citizens' money to save the economy. Since the debt brake is anchored in the Basic Law, a reform could only be carried out with a two-thirds majority in the Bundestag.

A change is practically impossible during this legislative period, says Lindner. The traffic light coalition has accused the FDP leader of leading a jealous discussion on the issue of citizens'money. The Greens have repeatedly called for a reform of the debt brakes. The Green politician called for more investment in the current crises.
