【Key Focus: German Chancellor Does Not Rule Out the Possibility of Reintroducing Conscription】
Berlin time December 13, 2025, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said at the Christian Social Union (CSU) convention:
If we cannot quickly increase the number of soldiers as needed, then during our term in office, we still need to discuss the elements of compulsory military service for young men. In addition, we are not able to attract women to serve in the military, because the German constitution does not allow it. I hope things will be different. I hope to establish a mandatory one-year service in Germany.
