Stegner vs. Roth: Controversy about peace manifest
Politics in Germany are currently characterized by heated debates about peace in Europe. The situation around Ralf Stegner's manifesto in particular arouses the minds. From the Zeit we learn that Michael Roth is visibly frustrated by Stegner's document, which demands the re-approach to Russia and a departure from the clinification. Roth criticizes the explanations as a "wine -minded melange of legislation, historical cleavage and intellectual neglect" and sees no prospect of more clarity in the intra -party controversy.
In contrast to this, Ralf Stegner, who considers Roth's assessments as absurd and is strong for peacekeeping in Europe. Not only the military upgrade is addressed, but also the structure of defense ability and armaments control. Looking into the current situation, the manifesto recognizes that peace in Europe is endangered in Europe 80 years after the Second World War, whereby current conflicts such as the war against Ukraine and human rights violations in the Gaza strip are particularly dramatically highlighted, such as ZDF emphasizes that the EU Commission plans to expand massive investments in order to expand its armaments industry and to improve the infrastructure. A defense commissioner from Lithuania, Andrius Kubilius, has published a white book on the defense strategy that addresses the increasing need for more cooperation between the Member States.But the determination to confront the military remains high. Numerous states rely on armaments -oriented politics, while peace with Russia is less and less accessible and a armaments race is threatened. This runs a shadow over the European security regulations, which is heavily burdened by conflicts and loss of trust.
The way to diplomacy
Stegner and other signatories of the manifesto plead for a strategic return to diplomacy to prevent the escalation of military conflicts. They are calling for the renewal of the commitments to disarmament and new negotiations on arms limits. The necessities also include steps to form the trust in order to contain the dangers of a armoring competition and intensify diplomacy.
In an overall uncertain Europe, it is urgent that political decision -makers take responsibility and work for real solutions that take into account the needs of all Europeans and the global south. Peace, so it became clear, depends not only on military forces, but rather on clever, communal approaches to the conflict resolution and extensive understanding between the nations.
