Coalition circles: Leaders of the coalition government reach agreement in the budget dispute

Scholz is expected to appear at the SPD-Fraktion in the Bundestag in the morning (07.00 hours) to inform the social democratic deputies about the results of the budget talks. It is assumed that the Chancellor will then appear before the press with Lindner and Habeck in the afternoon.

The three leading representatives of the traffic light government have been in negotiations over a solution in the budget dispute for the past few weeks. FDP leader Lindner had rejected the SPD's demand for a renewed suspension of the debt brake and instead demanded billion-dollar savings. The goal of the talks was also to agree on a dynamic package with measures to strengthen economic growth.

The federal government plans to pass the budget draft on July 17 in the cabinet as planned. It should then be discussed in the Bundestag after the summer break and adopted at the end of November.
