BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's constitutional court threw out new challenges by opposition parties against a plan by the prospective coalition government to push a massive public borrowing initiative through the outgoing parliament, it said on Monday.
The decision paves the way for parliament to convene on Tuesday to consider the proposals of conservative election winner Friedrich Merz to reform constitutional debt rules and set up a 500-billion-euro infrastructure fund.
