Germany's Budget Deal: A Green Path to Financial Stability and Support for Ukraine
Germany's budget crisis, caused by the ruling that repurposing emergency funds for green energy projects is unconstitutional, poses significant problems for the government's Net Zero agenda. The ruling exposes the government's attempt to avoid parliamentary and public debate about its green policies. Germany's economic recession and borrowing have weakened its fiscal discipline, and the longer the budget crisis persists, the weaker Germany will become. This will have implications not only for Germany but also for the EU, which is pursuing its own expensive Net Zero agenda. German voters should use this crisis to hold the government accountable for its green plans and disregard for democracy.
