Thousands protest in Berlin against new German military conscription bill

"About 3,000 people have taken to the streets of Berlin to protest against Germany’s new military service bill, after Bundestag politicians backed the legislation intended to bolster the country’s armed forces.
Germany’s parliament approved the controversial conscription legislation after months of heated debate. It comes amid a pledge by NATO allies to increase defense spending, boosting Europe’s defense capabilities amid fears Russia’s war on Ukraine could spill across its borders." AJ
