Germany's top court receives more complaints against debt vote plan, dpa reports

FRANKFURT, March 17 (Reuters) - Germany's constitutional court has received more legal complaints from lawmakers against plans by chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz to hold a vote in parliament this week over a massive increase in state borrowing, the dpa news agency reported.

Merz on Friday won the crucial backing of the Greens for the reform in borrowing rules, clearing the way for the outgoing parliament to approve the deal this week.

The constitutional court, which on Friday threw out earlier petitions against the move, could not immediately be reached for comment.
