Correction: CDU/CSU, SPD and the Greens only have 65ish% of the seats, so no 2/3 majority.

What if they hijack the guy from SSW, would that help?

Nope, they have 413, need 421.

Hence probably this (Greens have made a similar proposal): https://bsky.app/profile/jeremycliffe.bsky.social/post/3liwhwiuvm22s

Tough move. But hopefully yes

Specifics will matter I guess. A second Sondervermögen? Or some kind of "debt brake does not apply to defense spending/defense investment/..."?
