Chancellor Olaf Scholz signature policy to boost Germany’s military prowess is struggling to get off the ground.
In addition to the votes from his centre-left coalition government, Scholz needs the backing of the main opposition conservatives to reach the two-thirds majority required to bake the new funding into the German constitution. But a vote set for this Friday had to be postponed because the parties could not agree on how the money should be spent. It’s not clear when talks will be rescheduled.
“The special fund guarantees the freedom and security of our country during this difficult time,” he said. “It is also a clear message to friends and allies: Yes, we mean it seriously when we talk about the duty of assistance and collective defence.” “Unfortunately, many of our questions have not been answered,” he said. “That’s why we as Liberal Democrats decided shortly after 9 a.m. to leave this meeting.”
