Rise in German military objectionors
Germany has experienced a significant increase in the number of people refusing to serve in the military since the new military service law came into effect in January 2026. The number of refusals doubled during the first quarter of the year, reaching 3,493 individuals, compared to 3,867 requests throughout the entire year of 2025. Organizations concerned predict that the number of requests this year will exceed 15,000, amid political opposition to plans to strengthen the German military's capabilities. These requests come from active soldiers, reservists, and individuals who have not served before, with a large influx of consultations at advisory centers.
