Debate about billions in payments
: The parliamentary group leader of the FDP, Christian Dürr, has told the
editorial network Germany
that he "does not want to cheat" on the planned billions in payments to the Bundeswehr.
Specifically, Dürr said, "We will not use tricks to finance the billions in aid for the Bundeswehr."
He continued: "It is impossible for us to weaken the debt brake with a simple majority."
The FDP parliamentary group leader is reacting to a push by SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich.
He had explained in the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
that if the Union rejected the change in the law, there would be other ways of implementing the 100 billion euro financing.
Mutzenich said, "If Germany is in an emergency situation, Article 115 allows borrowing by a simple majority." Article 115 sets the borrowing limit for the federal budget.
Most recently, there was an exception in the context of the Corona crisis.
The planned EUR 100 billion cash injection is still controversial, and some parts of the population see the rearmament plans as breaking a taboo.
According to Unicef, Germans consume almost three earths
Report on resource consumption
: According to scientists from the Unicef research center Innocenti, resource consumption in Germany is far too high.
Studies show that 2.9 earths would be needed for the way of life of Germans on a global scale.
According to the report, while children in the world's wealthiest countries grow up in comparatively healthy environments, most of these countries contribute disproportionately to global environmental degradation.
The researchers come to the conclusion that if all people consumed as much as the population in the EU and OECD countries examined, 3.3 planets like Earth would be necessary.
