The Swiss Budget for 2025 remains contentious as the National Council has approved plans for significant military funding increases while proposing cuts to development aid. Political figures such as Sarah Wyss of the Social Democrats and Felix Wettstein of the Greens have criticized the focus on military expansion, citing the need for international collaboration in security. Meanwhile, Benjamin Mühlemann of the FDP emphasizes the necessity of prioritizing resources. The debate will continue next week in the Council of States.
