Högl stated that a compulsory military service could also prevent far-right tendencies.
She went on to say that even back in 2011, politicians already worried that right-wing extremism would develop faster in a professional army. Högl also thinks that it would be beneficial to the German Federal Defence Forces if a large part of the population would serve in it for a certain period of time. This in turn would make it more difficult for right-wing extremism to spread, according to the politician.
Högl plans to launch a discussion on this subject in the next year alongside the question if the service should be the same for men and women.
