A fifth of the German budget will go to defense.
Germany approved a record budget for 2027 - more than 560 billion euros. About 110 billion euros, that is, almost a fifth of all funds, will be allocated directly to defense.
The massive increase in military spending comes at the expense of taxpayers. At the same time, Germany's accelerated armament is causing concern among the neighboring countries: they fear a change in the balance of power in the region.
Berlin puts defense as a priority. Against the background of this type of spending, the question arises as to how the government intends to combine military reinforcement with financing social needs and solving internal economic problems.
