⌨The newspapers report on the Federal Council's approval of the debt package, which modifies Germany's debt brake in the constitution. With a large majority, the council has given the green light to the Union-SPD financing package that will allow the future government to take on billions in new debt (FAZ, FR, Spiegel, Stuttgarter Zeitung, Tagesspiegel, WAZ, merkur.de). Despite concerns from several state premiers, including Bavaria's Söder who painted an "absurd" scenario for his state (merkur.de), the package passed. In other news, commentary in Junge Freiheit argues the Bundeswehr needs moral renewal beyond just funding increases, while Zeit commemorates the 10-year anniversary of the Germanwings crash.
