For the FDP parliamentary group, defending the debt brake and strengthening security are two priorities in the discussion on the 2025 federal budget. "Government priorities must be redefined," said spokesperson Alex Farinelli (TI) in the National Council on Tuesday.
In order to strengthen security, other areas would have to suffer somewhat, according to Farinelli. However, it is "essential that the federal finances are restructured". Otherwise, public finances would get "out of control".
According to the FDP, the debt brake is a popular mandate that must be defended. "We cannot pass on our fiscal responsibility to future generations," said Farinelli.
However, this does not mean that there will be no more investment. However, expenditure should increase less than in previous years.
