It is probably the last plenary session before the Bundestag before the election.
Important decisions are pending.
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) is also planned to be the speaker.
Berlin - Almost three weeks before the general election there is likely to be a weighty exchange of blows between the candidates for chancellor in the Bundestag today.
In the three-hour debate on “the situation in Germany” on Tuesday (from 9 a.m.), the parliamentary groups want to present their positions on current issues.
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU), who will not run again in the election, will be the speaker.
This is the 239th plenary session of the legislature.
Last exchange of blows between the parties in the Bundestag before the election
In the presumably last meeting before the federal election * on September 26, it is expected that in addition to the outgoing Chancellor Merkel, CDU boss Laschet, finance minister Scholz and Green leader Baerbock * will answer the microphone.
What are they going to try to score with the voters?
Laschet is under a lot of pressure - the last polls are disastrous for the Union.
But the voters in the Bundestag should also pay attention to other issues: Because several new corona regulations are to be passed and the multi-billion aid fund for the victims of the flood disaster in western Germany in mid-July is to come under one roof.
The MPs finally decide on the establishment of a 30 billion euro special fund for reconstruction in the flood areas.
They also vote on the new version of the Infection Protection Act.
According to this, the hospitalization rate or hospitalization incidence should in future be a key benchmark when imposing corona measures.
In addition, employees in daycare centers, schools and nursing homes are to be required to provide information about their corona vaccination status.
Economics Minister Peter Altmaier is probably not there.
The 63-year-old was transported away by the emergency doctor during a meeting.
After initial great concern, he reported on Twitter that morning.
