The SPD parliamentary group leader in the Bundestag, Rolf Mützenich, wants to sustainably realign the security policy in Europe. It is important to embed German security policy at a European level, Mützenich proposed. This is not only sensible, but urgent, he said, advocating an overarching strategy “not limited to military policy and defense spending”. At present, it is possible that there are “opportunities” for a “limitation of the military and armament”, according to the politician, who is considered to be rather left-leaning and whose name has already been cited when it comes to the SPD’s future candidacy for Chancellor.
