- Berlin and the Bundeswehr signed an agreement in June 2026 intended to strengthen youth officers’ work in schools.
- Under a red-green-red coalition, the agreement is to be terminated immediately, according to Left Party lead candidate Elif Eralp.
- SPD state leader Steffen Krach said individual schools would decide, while Bundeswehr visits would remain possible.
- Twelve German states have agreements; in 2026, youth officers have so far made 4,000 school visits reaching 137,600 students.
Ending the cooperation agreement in Berlin would be a signal against the Bundeswehr and its important mission. This signal must not come from Berlin.— Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD); warning that ending the Berlin cooperation agreement would signal against the German armed forces and its mission

- During exploratory talks, the Left, Greens and SPD agreed to end the cooperation if they form a coalition.
- Pistorius called the plan completely incomprehensible because the agreement had only been concluded in June.
- According to Pistorius, the plan would probably not end youth officers, but make individual schools reassess invitations.
- Given the heightened threat environment, Pistorius said the Bundeswehr needed unequivocal political support, including at state level.
