Germany's Social Democrats are open to a significant increase in military spending, potentially up to €200 billion, by easing borrowing rules or creating a special fund. This follows discussions with the conservative CDU/CSU bloc for parliamentary approval before a new legislature is sworn in next month. The SPD's stance is influenced by ongoing security challenges, though they emphasize the need for well-considered proposals. The moves come amid pressure on Germany and EU allies to bolster military expenditures.
