How will the coalition's ambitious spending plans impact Germany's long-term fiscal sustainability and its role within NATO?

The coalition's plans, driven partly by concerns over shifts in the transatlantic alliance under the Trump administration, involve significant increases in government spending to revitalize the German economy and rebuild its military capabilities. These plans necessitate circumventing Germany's constitutional debt limit and represent a major departure from Germany's traditionally cautious fiscal approach. The agreement also prioritizes stricter immigration controls, reflecting a key demand from CDU/CSU leader Merz.
