German Parliament Approves Sweden and Finland’s NATO Resolution

Germany's Bundestag has announced that it has adopted the draft law on Sweden and Finland's NATO membership protocol.

The Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens, the Free Democratic Party (FDP), the Christian Union Parties (CDU-CSU) and the Alternative for Germany (AfD) voted in favor of Sweden and Finland's NATO membership, while the Left Party (Die Linke) voted against the bill to ratify the protocol. German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht said that these countries deserved positive support: "NATO's northern and eastern flanks are gaining decisive strength. With the admission of Finland and Sweden to NATO, we are strengthening freedom and democracy. Accession not only strengthens the alliance, but also solidarity and unity in Europe and the transatlantic community. It deters those who want to disrupt this unity." "The planned accession of Finland and Sweden to the North Atlantic Defense Alliance is extraordinarily important for us and our partners, given the shocks we are experiencing in Europe and the world as a result of Russia's war against Ukraine. Today we are strengthening NATO's democratic values."
