A German Green Party defense expert, Agnieszka Brugger, has rejected proposals from the Union and SPD to strengthen the German military with a special fund.
In an interview with the Funke-Mediengruppe, Brugger stated, “In unfriendly and rough times, nothing is more expensive than not protecting our country and our society.” She added, “It is clear that one or two capped special funds are completely insufficient, small and narrow-minded.”
Brugger warned, “What is overdue and still lacking is money, personnel and the resolute political will to adequately protect our society.” This, she said, can only be achieved with a comprehensive reform of the debt brake. “We are experiencing historical times and a dramatic shift on the world stage and this has not yet been fully grasped by everyone, including the two sound-out teams so far.
