Thousands of young Germans protest plans to expand the military
Washington, December 6 (Hibya) – Thousands of young Germans protested against the government’s plans to significantly increase the size of the country’s armed forces.
The German parliament approved yesterday a plan to raise the size of the military from 180,000 to 260,000 over the next decade. All 18-year-old men will be required to undergo a medical examination to assess their eligibility for military service.
The approved bill aims to increase the size of the armed forces from 180,000 to 260,000 over the next ten years.
The objective is to increase payments to recruits, improve training, and make service periods more flexible. If these measures fail to produce the desired results, the German parliament will consider reintroducing compulsory military service.
