The Bundestag has rejected the proposal of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) and the Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CSU) (CDU\/CSU) opposition alliance to supply German Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Source: <\/strong>Tagesschau<\/a>, as reported by European Pravda<\/a><\/p>\n Details: <\/strong>The proposal of the CDU\/CSU parliamentary group, which directly calls on the federal government to supply Taurus, was rejected by a majority of votes.<\/p>\n MPs from the Greens and the Free Democratic Party, who have long insisted on such a supply in the coalition, motivated their refusal by the fact that the opposition’s request was connected with the plenary debate on the annual report of the military commissar.<\/p>\n For example, FDP MP Nils Gr\u00fcnder explained: “Of course, the FDP parliamentary group is in favour of supplying Taurus (…), but I find it weak that we are holding this debate today amid the concern of our soldiers.”<\/p>\n It was also reported that the Greens accused the CDU and CSU of looking only for headlines<\/a>. “Sadly, the current proposition of the CDU\/CSU fraction is aimed solely at a tactical advantage in internal political debates in the Federative Republic of Germany,” the Greens stated.<\/p>\n The CDU and CSU already wanted to put the issue of the supply of Taurus missiles to a vote in the past. But the corresponding proposal was submitted to the committees by the coalition majority.<\/p>\n Even if a majority of the Bundestag votes to supply Taurus, the federal government, in particular the Federal Security Council, has the final say on arms exports.<\/p>\n The German government continues to refuse to supply Taurus to Ukraine.<\/p>\n Support<\/strong><\/a> UP or become<\/strong> our patron<\/strong><\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
