Promising to increase defense budget, German Chancellor Scholz holds summer press conference on transformation | Energy | Scholz
On the 14th local time, German Federal Chancellor Scholz held a summer press conference to answer questions from reporters on important policy issues.
In terms of military budget, Scholz has promised that the German federal government will invest 17 billion euros in armaments by 2027, accounting for at least 2% of Germany's gross domestic product.
Scholz stated that the cabinet government has reached a consensus on the relevant draft laws to ensure the achievement of the goal of energy transition. By 2030, 80% of Germany's electricity will come from green energy. Schultz once again supports the controversial heating bill in recent times. He stated that the introduction of the heating bill will promote progress in Germany and is a good solution for achieving energy transformation. But he also acknowledges the importance of combining the bill with local regulations in various regions.

In recent years, the trust of the German public in the federal government cabinet has been rapidly decreasing. According to the latest poll results from the Forza Institute, 57% of German citizens believe that no political party can properly solve the problems currently facing Germany, and only 22% of German citizens trust the current ruling coalition.
