"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."
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.
