Bundeswehr: Boris Pistorius is skeptical about increasing the special fund. CDU defense politician Roderich Kiesewetter recently brought up a significant increase in the 100 billion euro special pot for the Bundeswehr.
Pistorius now said that a special fund anchored in the constitution has the advantage that a certain amount is available for a certain period of time. The federal government wants to implement NATO's goal of spending at least two percent of economic output on defense. For Germany, this means more than 20 billion euros will likely have to be added to the defense budget of around 50 billion euros every year.
