Top Merkel aide under fire after call for debt limit to be suspended
At issue is the debt brake, a measure enshrined in the German constitution, which limits the country’s budget deficit to just 0.35 per cent of gross domestic product.
CDU politicians insisted that the debt brake must be reintroduced, as planned, in 2022.
“We must return to sound budgets as soon as possible after the pandemic,” said Mr Ziemiak. “It’s only fair to future generations.”
