What are the underlying causes of the Free Voters' opposition to the debt plan, and how do these relate to broader political and fiscal debates in Germany?

The FW's rejection stems from disagreements over Germany's debt brake rule, a commitment to fiscal responsibility and concerns that the proposed plan would lack transparency and accountability. The FW's counterproposal includes a dedicated defense fund in line with NATO targets and funding infrastructure from existing budgets. This decision highlights growing friction between the CSU and FW, fueled by the latter's skepticism of the CSU's fiscal policies and the former's perceived disregard for the FW's concerns.
