Conservative Adviser in Germany, Friedrich MirzHe said that he received the support of the Green Party for its radical plan to increase spending on defense and infrastructure after the marathon talks that passed at night, which paves the way for his approval in Parliament.
“Germany has returned,” Mirz said in Berlin on Friday. “Germany offers its great contribution to the defense of freedom and peace in Europe.”
The conservative bloc, CDU/CSU, which won the elections last month, and socialist Democrats, who are dragging talks to form a new government, put a deal that would relax the strict brakes in Germany, allowing an increase in defense spending and 500 billion euros (420 billion pounds) “a special box”.
Mirz, who is about to become a new leader in Germany, wants to conclude the funding deal before Parliament is held in less than two weeks. The support of the Green Party, which will give Mirz the majority needed for constitutional change, is tantamount to obtaining the deal.
An expanded group of right -right and left -right deputies in the new Bundestag can oppose the spending plan as a “refreshing minority”, which Mirz is keen to avoid.
The Greens have previously criticized Mirz financing proposals for being very mysterious, as well as lacked climate protection obligations.
The controversial but ambitious plans that were developed with the potential coalition partners in Mirz, the Social Democrats (SPD), are necessary, for example, that Germany becomes independent of Washington in terms of its security and security. Europe. The proposals are imagined that defensive spending is exempted from the constitutional protected debt brakes when it exceeds 1 % of the gross domestic product.
Debt brake was introduced in 2009 after the global financial crisis, with the aim of limiting the ability to borrow in Germany to protect future generations from the excessive debt burden. But in recent years, especially after crises such as the epidemic and war in Ukraine, the brake has increased as an obstacle and an obstacle to economic growth.
In a discussion during the first reading of the legislation in Parliament on Thursday, Mirz stressed the urgency of investment in security. He said Germany should “do something now … anything else will be irresponsible.”
It seems that he made concessions to the Greens, saying that he will devote up to “up to 50 billion euros” from the Climate Protection Fund, in addition to providing defense spending to include civil defense and intelligence, “What do you really want from us?”
Al -Khader, which is part of the current government but because of the opposition, was angry at criticizing the conservative bloc of the party, and blamed the Green climate policies for Germany’s economic problems and hidden the party over and over in public places.
The market’s reaction was positively to the news on Friday, as the revenues on German government bonds and stocks were all rising against the background of reports that the long -awaited deal had been reached.
Analysts said that she had sent a sign that Germany was able to resolve and raise its commitment to defense at a time of global uncertainty.

The leader of the Democratic Democratic Party, Lars Klingille, described one of the first to interact with the news, the package is a “strong boost for Germany”. “I laid the basis for Germany to return on its feet and protect itself,” he said.
Mirz called the package “a clear message to our partners … but also to the enemies of our freedom: we are able to defend ourselves.”
The largest economy in Europe has suffered from two consecutive years of negative growth. Economists say the financing plans can help get it out of the economic recession.
Al -Khader and the conservatives announced press conferences this afternoon. Al -Khader called for guarantees that investment must fund new projects, not current projects, in addition to asking for more money to protect climate.
The outgoing Bundestag is to hear, the Undersecretary Parliament, the second and third readings of the legislation on Tuesday morning before voting on the deal. After that, it will go to the upper parliament of Parliament, the bunrat, where the majority of two -thirds are also required. The new parliament in Germany is scheduled to lead on March 25.
