Saxony-Anhalt: "Own ability to defend": Haseloff emphasizes importance

Gommern (dpa/sa) - Saxony-Anhalt's Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) has emphasized the importance of Germany's "own defense capability". It was "necessary in the truest sense of the word," said Haseloff on Thursday at a public oath by the Bundeswehr in Gommern (Jerichower Land district).

At the latest since February 24, 2022 - the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine - this fact has been seen again in all its importance, he explained. In addition, the Bundeswehr has always made the fact visible that a community is also based on duties and not just on rights.
