The motion by the Union parliamentary group on the "Bundeswehr special fund" shows how little the government factions and the opposition have come close to this point.
If it were otherwise, the majority in the Bundestag, which must meet to amend the Basic Law, would have agreed on a joint motion.
The Union's demands have been on the table since the chancellor's speech about the "turning point" and were later only specified.
What the coalition wants to achieve, however, is still unclear, even though it has already presented a draft law.
Not only because there is a kind of red-green attrition tactic - sometimes the SPD sows doubts, sometimes the Greens counterpoint.
There are too many contradictions within the coalition.
SPD and Greens squirm
With its motion, the Union faction only wants to tie down what the FDP originally wrote in the coalition's draft law, but did not enforce.
It's about the purpose of the 100 billion euros, which according to the understanding of the Union and FDP should really only benefit the armed forces and not all possible departments.
A further point of contention will be whether, regardless of this financial injection, which is guided past the debt brake in the Basic Law, NATO's two percent target should be adhered to in the long term.
Scholz is willing to compromise.
SPD and Greens squirm.
Even without a vote in the Bundestag, the turning point turns into a vote of confidence.
