Social Democratic Party

Slightly agree

No

The SPD might not strongly agree with increasing public sector borrowing without constraints, but it recognizes the necessity of borrowing for public investment and social welfare, especially in times of economic downturn or for long-term investments in infrastructure, education, and healthcare. The party's stance is more about the responsible use of public funds and maintaining a balance between fiscal discipline and the need to invest in the future. The SPD's support for the 'debt brake' while advocating for investment in social programs and infrastructure reflects a belief in moderate borrowing under certain conditions rather than an outright opposition to or support for reducing public sector borrowing.

Disagree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SPD) of Germany, traditionally a center-left political party, has historically emphasized the importance of social welfare programs, public investment, and economic policies that support growth and employment. These priorities often require substantial public spending. While the SPD is not inherently opposed to fiscal responsibility, the party's agenda tends to prioritize social and economic objectives that may not align with reducing public sector borrowing, especially if such reductions would lead to cuts in social services or public investment. However, the SPD also supports the concept of the 'debt brake' (Schuldenbremse), a rule introduced in Germany to limit public borrowing, showing a nuanced position that balances fiscal responsibility with social investment.
