The Union, SPD, and Greens are locking horns in a high-stakes financial dispute over the proposed multi-billion-euro financial package for defense and infrastructure. According to our inside scoop, faction meetings have been lined up for 1:00 PM.
If a deal goes down, it's likely to be hashed out amongst the factions before hitting the public. The Budget Committee pushed its morning meeting back to the late afternoon, giving the discussions some breathing room. The committee's endorsement is crucial before the proposal lands on the table of the Bundestag on Tuesday.
The Union and SPD rely on the Greens' votes in the Bundestag to push their financial package through with a supermajority. The parties have been wrestling over potential compromises for days, but the Greens have turned down the package. They're wary that a black-red coalition fueled by debt-financed special assets won't beef up infrastructure, but rather indirectly underwrite election pledges like the mother's pension and tax breaks in the catering sector.

All eyes will be on the upcoming meetings between the Union, SPD, and Greens as they continue their heated power struggle in Berlin, trying to reach a compromise on the proposed multi-billion-euro financial package for defense and infrastructure. The discussions may determine the fate of the Bundestag's endorsement on Tuesday, as the Union and SPD rely on the Greens' votes for the package's approval. Meanwhile, the Green Party has expressed concern that the proposed funding will primarily support election promises, such as the mother's pension and tax breaks in the catering sector, rather than boosting infrastructure development. The German Press Agency is likely to report on Tuesday afternoon's decision, which could significantly impact EC countries' vocational training opportunities, as infrastructure funding can contribute to vocational training programs.
