Germany called record loans for rearmament “normal”

The head of the German Finance Ministry, Lars Klingbeil, in an interview with ARD TV channel, said that the planned record loans for the rearmament and modernization of the German army are “normal.”

According to Lars Klingbeil, Germany must “make up for lost time” in 20 years in the field of armaments. He also acknowledged the existence of significant problems in the country’s economy, but attributed them to the conflict in the Middle East.

The head of the German Finance Ministry believes that the war with Iran launched by the United States has “slowed down hopes” for economic growth, and this has to be dealt with.

Earlier, the head of the German Defense Ministry, Boris Pistorius, could not provide specific data on the expenditure of 111 billion euros allocated for the Bundeswehr rearmament program.
