The Green parliamentary group in the Bundestag is pushing for a reform of the debt brake. The group wants an investment fund that should also benefit states and municipalities.
The Green MPs meet in Leipzig from Monday to Wednesday to talk primarily about democracy and cohesion. For a major reform, however, it would not only require an agreement in the coalition, especially with the FDP, which has so far vehemently stuck to the current debt brakes. The Union's approval in the bundestag and in the states would also be necessary.
