Berlin: The German parliament on Tuesday approved plans to increase large -scale spending, which for decades eliminated financial conservatism in hopes of restoring economic growth and promoting military spending for a new era of European collective defense.

With the approval of the Bundsteg, the Conservative leader Frederick Mirz gave a huge promotion, which, after two years of contraction in Europe’s largest economy, faced hundreds of billion euros winds to increase investment.

Germany and other European countries have been under pressure to defend its defense against Russia and continue its defense in US policy under President Donald Trump, which European leaders fear to expose the continent.

Murz’s Conservatives and Social Democrats (SPD), who are talking to form a Central Alliance after last month’s elections, want to fund 500 billion euros ($ 546 billion) for infrastructure and want to reduce the constitutional loan rules to allow more expenses to allow defensively.

“We have felt the wrong feeling of security for at least a decade, Mirz told lawmakers before the vote.” “What we are taking about defense preparations today … The new European defense community cannot be less than the first step,” he said.

This legislation is still going to go to the Bundersart House, which represents the governments of 16 federal states in Germany. The main obstacle to passing on Monday appeared to fall when Bavarian free voters agreed to support the projects.

Conservatives and the SPD wanted to pass the legislation through an expansion of right and remote lawmakers, starting March 25 at the next Bundstig, through a parliament that came out of this fear. Murz has justified the tight timetable with a rapidly changing geographical political situation.

These projects have eliminated the euro zone production, euro currency and European shares last week. Germany’s Blue Chip Dex Index. The GDAXI, which was close to a record before the vote, earned some benefits, while Germany’s 10 -year -old bond production cost ended after a widespread approval of the project. The euro, which has become stronger in recent weeks, has become a bit easier.

“The decision has the ability to give our country’s history a new direction, which is a positive start for Germany, a positive start for Europe,” said SPD leader Lars Klingbil. “Europe is on the one hand with aggressive Russia and on the other, an unexpected United States.”

The reforms indicate an important role in the so -called loan breaks imposed after the 2008 global financial crisis, but many have since been criticized and put Germany in a financial street jacket.

The ZW Economic Research Institute said Tuesday that the prospects of a borrowing bonenza raised the morale of German investors more than expected in March. The construction sector is looking forward to promoting the fund for the restoration of the cracking infrastructure in Germany while also standing to get the defense industry.

“The possibility of a financing is facing expectations without a tariff drama,” said private bank chief economist Alexander Curigger.

But critics, including in their own party, accuse the person of “cheating voters” of promising to ban the spending during the campaign, just a few days after winning the financial policy. “The biggest asset of a politician is credibility,” said Tono Corpola, a right -wing co -leader for Germany, Tino Corpola.

“With these shameful steps, Mr. Mirz, you have already felt cheated on yourself.” Economists have warned that further reforms are needed to reduce bureaucracy, for example, to ensure sustainable growth.

The Fitch rating agency also warned on Tuesday that Germany’s privileged AAA rating could be under pressure if its extensive cost efforts are not presented by stability measures, or fails to create a long -term improvement.
