CDU Criticizes Delays in Bundeswehr Reform Plans
The CDU’s defense committee chairman, Röwekamp, has expressed concerns over the lack of a growth plan for the active military, hindering the goal of achieving 260,000 personnel.
Röwekamp highlighted the absence of a comprehensive procurement strategy for national defense and a clear plan for reserves. He noted that no announcements have been made for the upcoming defense committee meeting, recalling that Federal Defense Minister Pistorius had promised a modernization agenda for the Bundeswehr by Easter during a conference last November.
