So, it was the decision to make no limits for that and, on the other hand, to balance this for domestic politics and for the Social Democrats and also for the population who could ask: Well, we can afford tanks and airplanes for the military and so on, but we have a railway which doesn’t work and so on. We have another €500 billion for infrastructure.
