Markus Söder, leader of the Christian Social Union and Minister-President of Bavaria, has called for compulsory military service to be reinstated in Germany. He said that security threats and personnel shortages in the armed forces made it necessary to increase troop numbers, alongside investing in equipment and infrastructure and speeding up weapons procurement. In doing so, Söder backed the position of the Christian Democratic Union, led by Friedrich Merz. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, however, has ruled out reopening the debate, noting that the law in force since January 1 provides for voluntary service only. Germany abolished conscription in 2011.
