The Minister of Defence seems willing to clarify the financing of the army. There is a debate about increasing VAT – and there is an indiscretion promptly. At the same time, important preliminary decisions are taken in Parliament.
Defence Minister Pfister wants to raise more money for the faster upgrade and increase VAT.
The Federal Council envisages an increase in VAT to finance the army, says Tages Anzeiger. The proposal would have been made by Federal Councillor Martin Pfister, while European defence is increasingly preparing for a possible military escalation with Russia.
Switzerland is planning a faster armament of the army, for which an increase in VAT of 0.5% is being discussed.
According to the "Tages Anzeiger", the Federal Council could propose a significant increase in the army budget by Christmas Wednesday, the Federal Council held a closed meeting on security policy, during which the Federal Defence Adviser, Martin Pfister, allegedly presented his plan for a faster re-arming of Switzerland, according to the information published this Friday by the Tages Anzeiger.
