Germany's The Left party is going to court in hopes of blocking a plan by other parties to use the outgoing lame-duck parliament to approve hundreds of billions in military and infrastructure spending.

Germany’s Green party rejected a debt-financed package that would unleash hundreds billions of euros in defense and infrastructure spending, potentially imperiling the flagship policy of chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz.

Germany's Greens are open to talks on a massive defence and infrastructure spending package, but are awaiting a negotiating offer from the political parties that put forward the proposal, Green leader Felix Banaszak said on Tuesday.
