Meretz plans to boost military budget
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz affirmed his commitment to making arms projects and the modernization of the German armed forces more cost-efficient. He outlined a plan to increase defense spending from 82 billion euros this year to 162 billion euros by 2028. He emphasized the need to build modern forces based on advanced technology rather than outdated systems, suggesting that this could be achieved at a lower cost by learning from Ukraine's experiences and potential cooperation in arms manufacturing companies. Merz also stated that the government is reviewing procurement projects to correct previous shortcomings, with the goal of enabling Germany to defend itself and maintain Europe's security.
