Bundestag's Armed Forces Commissioner, Eva Högl, is calling for faster modernization of the Bundeswehr. In her annual report for 2023, she criticizes that the turning point announced by Chancellor Olaf Scholz has hardly been received by the troops so far.
“It is partly shameful and completely inappropriate for the service of our men and women to see the poor condition that the barracks in Germany are in,” she writes in her report. The military representative is seen as a kind of suggestion box in the troops.
