    Germany: Massive Student Protests Against Possible Reinstatement of Military Conscription

    Thousands of students across Germany, particularly in cities like Berlin, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, and Munich, have staged protests against the potential reinstatement of compulsory military service. The 'School Strike Against Compulsory Military Service' movement, with over 45,000 declared participants, opposes the government's plans to develop a new military service system and mandatory medical examinations for young men. The new military service law, effective since January 2026, initially allows for voluntary recruitment but could lead to conscription if recruitment targets are not met. The protests coincide with a broader debate about military spending and social investments.
