Draft of German "conscription law" passed, unable to conceal internal differences within the ruling coalition.

On August 27, local time, the German government held a cabinet meeting at the Ministry of Defence for the first time since 1992, and approved a draft of the "Conscription Act." The choice of location for this meeting was seen by the public as a sign of the German government's increased support for the military. However, the internal contradictions within the ruling coalition revealed by the passage of the draft and the criticism of the draft's Conscription Act at the social level also make the prospect of the German government attempting to "reintroduce mandatory military service" seem more complicated.
