💨 Abstract

German lawmakers have filed multiple legal complaints with the constitutional court to halt a planned parliamentary vote on a significant increase in state borrowing led by Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), independent lawmaker Joana Cotar, and three pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) lawmakers have filed complaints, citing insufficient time for consultation and the lack of hearing from external experts before the vote.
