Financial package
Debt package: two -thirds majority seems to be
Shortly before the decisive session in the Bundestag, there are again counting appeals in the political groups. According to information from the Union, the SPD and the Greens, the number of deviators is low.
The two -thirds majority for the debt package in the Bundestag, who was sought by Union, the SPD and the Greens, seems to be standing, according to representatives of the three factions.
According to Secretary General Matthias Miersch, the SPD parliamentary group will vote almost closed for this. “We have an illness and a person who will be right, otherwise we will be closed for this package,” said Miersch before the Bundestag Sonder meeting in the broadcaster “Phoenix”. What you do here is historical, he added.
According to parliamentary group leader Britta Haßelmann, the Greens lack five votes. According to parliamentary group leader Friedrich Merz (CDU), the Union has two to three MPs from Monday who do not want to agree. The CDU MP Philipp Amthor said at “Phoenix” that it was “some very, very, very few MPs”. He spoke of great unity in the CDU/CSU parliamentary group.
For the required two-thirds majority, the Union, SPD and Greens need 489 votes in favor. Together they get 520 – 31 more than necessary. At least mathematically, the majority would be secured with more than 20 votes. Surprises are always possible. The result of the name vote is expected for the early afternoon.
