Berlin: SPD leader Walter-Borjans is convinced that the future government can invest billions despite the debt brake. “The debt brake is more than some think,” he said literally in the morning magazine of ARD and ZDF. State companies could take out loans that do not appear in the budget. Specifically, he named the federally owned motorway and real estate company as well as the credit institution for reconstruction. All leeway will be explored. In doing so, he stood behind the Greens, who are planning to invest billions. FDP leader Lindner, on the other hand, had emphasized that they did not want to create shadow budgets. A competition for the finance department is emerging between the potential government partners, the Greens and the FDP. Green leader Baerbock confirmed that her party is claiming the ministry – she proposes her co-chair, Habeck. Lindner had also shown interest in the office.
