Friedrich Merz, the future German Chancellor, has already begun to plan a massive financial coup, which he must execute before his inauguration, or it will not be possible. The plan is to borrow an enormous amount of money, estimated at 900 billion euros, with the consent of the outgoing Bundestag.
The plan is to present this enormous financial package as being in the interest of the people, with two separate funds: one for infrastructure investments and the other for the modernization of the German military and “other” armed forces, likely referring to Ukraine. The idea is to combine these two credits in a single legislative package, as not all Bundestag members are willing to approve a massive increase in military spending alone.
Friedrich Merz’s plan is not only a financial coup, but also a power play, aiming to make Germany a key player on the international stage. He is trying to portray himself as a strong and decisive leader, unlike the outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who was often criticized for his indecisiveness.
However, the plan is not without its critics. Many argue that the massive borrowing is a betrayal of the German people, who have been known for their frugal nature and strict fiscal policies. The “Schuldenbremse” (debt brake) law, which limits government debt, will not be able to be changed easily and the new Bundestag will likely not approve the massive borrowing.
The article concludes that Merz’s plan is a clever move to take control of the country’s finances and to make Germany a key player in the international arena, but at the cost of the German people, who will be left with the burden of the massive debt.
