Now things can move quickly: Düsseldorf economist Jens Südekum believes in a reform of the debt brake. If in doubt, also with the Left Party
Capital: Mr. Südekum, Germany has voted and it will probably end up in a coalition between the CDU/CSU and the SPD. A reform of the debt brake could even pass in the old Bundestag. But fundamentally: how quickly will the issue of the debt brake be brought up? JENS SÜDEKUM: That will happen relatively quickly because there are actually no alternatives. I assume that both sides are already discussing it intensively because we are facing an extremely difficult situation. The AfD and the Left can prevent such a reform with their votes. The SPD and the CDU/CSU are therefore faced with the question of which options and possibilities can actually be negotiated.
