Union is planning a new Taurus vote in the Bundestag – Scholz is threatened with a traffic light scandal. In a roll-call vote, 182 MPs voted for the bill, 480 against and five abstained.

Of the traffic light coalition, only the chairwoman of the Defense Committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, voted with the Union. “I am the Chancellor, and that is why this applies,” he said on Monday in a question and answer session.
