Germany’s top court rejected emergency bids to prevent the nation’s outgoing parliament from racing ahead with changes to the constitution to remove limits on defense borrowing and set up a €500 billion ($544 billion) infrastructure fund.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's Greens will negotiate hard before potentially giving their much-needed backing to debt reforms proposed by the conservatives and Social Democrats, parliamentary co-leader Katharina Droege said on Wednesday.

Germany’s government is in a state of uncertainty as the outgoing government races to push through a huge, and highly controversial, new spending package before its term ends early this spring.
