The German Minister of Defense, Boris Pistorius, rejected accusations that he had blocked the military service reform, calling the compromises "rotten" and considering the scandal exaggerated. He aims to increase the Bundeswehr's personnel to 260,000 soldiers from January 1, prefers voluntary recruitment instead of a lottery system, and opposes the military's involvement in airport security.
