German Government Officials Discuss New Military Service Bill
In a recent discussion on the new military service bill, Thorsten Frei, the head of the Chancellor’s Office, expressed support for a “mechanism” to implement the bill.
In an interview with RTL and ntv on Monday, Frei stated that the government will discuss the matter within the coalition and aim to reach a common understanding. He added that the development of a mechanism could be a viable approach, ultimately leading to the desired outcome.
This approach would involve initially relying on voluntary service, but then setting specific targets and agreeing on the necessary instruments to achieve them, according to Frei.
The German government plans to review the new military service bill before the summer break.
