The government program
The 177-page document that puts in black and white the agreement reached after almost two months of negotiations will now be submitted to the approval of the party requests: SPD and FDP in two extraordinary congresses, the Grünen with a vote by mail among the militants. The qualifying points are the increase in the minimum wage to 12 euros, a building plan to build 400,000 new apartments a year, the fight against child poverty, the stabilization of pensions, but above all “a massive public investment program on the agenda climate and digitalization “. However, this latter objective will be achieved by respecting the commitment to the country’s financial stability. It is interesting, however, that the document evokes the theme of flexibility with regard to the Stability and Growth Pact and is open to its reform.
