Overview
- The CSU Bundestag group proposes reintroducing nuclear power via small modular reactors and creating a closed fuel cycle through full reprocessing.
- The strategy seeks to make the Bundeswehr Europe’s strongest conventional force with at least 100,000 drones, long‑range precision weapons, hypersonic development and a FCAS path that could continue nationally if partners withdraw.
- A “glass Baltic” concept calls for real‑time monitoring of the sea using AI, sensor networks and unmanned underwater drones to protect critical infrastructure.
- The migration package urges quick returns for most Syrian refugees, expanded deportation facilities and limits on EU free movement to curb perceived abuse of social benefits.
- These are party positions up for decision at the Seeon retreat led by Alexander Hoffmann, with attendees including Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Lithuania’s Gitanas Nausėda, and the SPD has denounced the nuclear push as unrealistic and costly.
