Brandenburg Parliament Backs Nuclear Disarmament in Symbolic Vote

The SPDBSW coalition approved a non-binding resolution without backing from the AfD or CDU.

Overview

  • The measure endorses worldwide nuclear disarmament and recognizes Brandenburg municipalities involved in Mayors for Peace.
  • The AfD and CDU abstained on the main vote, and an AfD motion urging diplomacy first and a halt to weapons deliveries to crisis regions was defeated.
  • European minister Robert Crumbach urged greater courage for dialogue with difficult partners and a renewed focus on disarmament.
  • The debate coincided with a remembrance of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, recalling decisions taken during the 1945 Potsdam Conference.
  • CDU lawmakers argued the resolution offered no concrete initiatives and stressed the state parliament’s limited authority over federal security policy.
