What do the parties in Baden-Württemberg say on foreign affairs and defence?

The AfD wants to vote in the Bundesrat (the chamber of the states) against arms exports to war zones, economic sanctions and constitutional changes for more aid abroad. The premier would travel to the US and Russia within 100 days to revive the state's economic ties.

Foreign policy is really a federal job. But the AfD wants to say no in the chamber of the states. It is against weapons for war zones and against sanctions. Sanctions are trade penalties against a country. The premier should travel to the US and to Russia.

The AfD backs general conscription serving solely national defense and a Bundeswehr fully capable of defending the country. It also wants to systematically strengthen civil defense and disaster response.

The AfD wants conscription. That means citizens must serve in the armed forces. They should only defend their own country. The armed forces should be better equipped. Protection in disasters should also get better.

The CDU wants to strengthen and promote Baden-Württemberg as a location for the security and defense industry. The separation between civilian and military research is to be lifted. The program sees this as a contribution to defense and industrial sovereignty.

The state has many defense companies. The CDU wants to support these companies. Research for military and civilian use should no longer be kept apart. This should also secure jobs.

The CDU wants to introduce a "Bundeswehrgesetz Baden-Württemberg" (state law on the armed forces) that exempts projects of the Bundeswehr and civil defense from certain rules. This is meant to speed up measures that strengthen defense capability.

The CDU wants a state law for the Bundeswehr, the German armed forces. Bundeswehr projects should then move faster. Some rules should not apply to them. The state should also celebrate Bundeswehr Day.

The Greens want to set up a new innovation campus for security and defense with a focus on aerospace. The platform argues that space-based infrastructure is essential for a secure and sovereign Europe.

The Greens want to build a new research site. It will work on security and defense. The main focus is on air and space travel. The party says Europe needs its own technology in space.

The Greens want to continue the state's development policy and give civil society within it firmer financial and structural footing. Public procurement is to follow environmental, social and human rights standards, and the partnership with Burundi is to grow.

The state should keep helping poorer countries. Clubs and groups that take part should get more security and money. Public offices should buy fairly made goods. Young people from Baden-Württemberg and Burundi should meet more often.

The SPD wants to maintain and strengthen the state's development cooperation, relying on existing structures. The government-level partnership with Burundi would be suspended because of serious human rights violations.

The SPD wants to keep helping poorer countries. The state should strengthen this work. But the partnership with Burundi's government will pause. The reason is serious human rights violations.
