Berlin: The Bundesrat today approved numerous political projects, some of which entail considerable expenditure. This is how the billion-euro program to upgrade the Bundeswehr can start. The Chamber of States decided on the necessary amendment to the Basic Law so that loans of 100 billion euros can be taken out despite the debt brake. In addition, the Federal Council approved the Corona bonus for nursing staff due to the special burdens of the pandemic. The green light was also given for the pension increase on July 1st and the increase in the minimum wage to 12 euros from October.
