Pistorius: “Threat situation goes before the cash register situation”
Now Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius from the SPD is entering the lectern. There should also be an opening of the debt rule for his department. The defense minister has repeatedly made it clear in the past few weeks and months that he would like to continue his office in the new government. Pistorius emphasizes the “historical meaning of today’s decision” right from the start. Like Merz, he demands that security to think more European. The Europeans should grow up, take responsibility, also for the next generation, he says. “Those who hesitate today deny reality,” says the Minister of Defense. Germany plays a central role in this: “More troops, more equipment, faster operational readiness,” he summarizes. The financial needs for this will increase massively.
Today’s decision has an enormous scope that goes beyond the turning point. He ensures that the willingness to defend in Germany will be increased without the social cohesion being troubled. “Everyone knows: Germany is driving on wear.” The fact that Europe has to ensure its own security does not mean that the bond is questioned to the USA, but that the transatlantic alliance will be strengthened. “Threat situation goes before the cash register situation,” Pistorius summed up the legislative package. After all, an unpredictable threat is based on Russia.
