AfD challenges Germany's war-spending debt package vote

Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is challenging a major war-spending debt package in court, claiming insufficient time for expert review. This comes just before a crucial parliamentary vote. The parliamentary budget committee approved the package, which aims to address economic challenges. The AfD's legal efforts follow previous challenges from other parties, but yields on government bonds are declining, suggesting potential success for the AfD. The German economy faces stagnation, with the OECD lowering its growth forecast for 2025. Consumer sentiment remains low, and investment is hesitant, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the proposed measures.
