The coalition negotiations in Germany reflect significant internal disagreements regarding military service. During discussions between the CDU/CSU and SPD parties, the topic of mandatory military service has resurfaced. CDU deputy Johann Wadephul expressed support for reintroducing conscription, emphasizing the need for a trained military force. In contrast, SPD leader Lars Klingbeil backed a voluntary service model, which is part of the coalition agreement aimed at attracting young recruits. The ongoing debates indicate a potential rift in the coalition about defense strategies and military preparedness.
The CDU/CSU would have supported immediate conscription because we need to have at least 100,000 more people trained in military service in four years, Johann Wadephul.
The Bundeswehr has a lot to offer, from driver's licences and professional qualifications to training in one's own leadership skills, Johann Wadephul noted.
