    Greens Demand Clarification on Military Obligations for Men Aged 17-45

    The German Green Party has called for immediate clarification from the Defense Ministry regarding new regulations that require men aged 17 to 45 to obtain permission for extended foreign stays.

    Sara Nanni, the party’s security policy spokesperson, emphasized the public’s right to know their obligations under the Wehrdienst-Modernisierungsgesetz, effective January 1. The Ministry confirmed that men must seek approval for stays exceeding three months, applicable even in non-crisis situations. However, it remains unclear whether a formal application is necessary, as the Ministry indicated that permission would be deemed granted if military service is voluntary.
