The Union wants to pressure the Chancellor to make a decision on the Taurus issue.
When they vote again, they could receive support from the traffic lights.
Berlin – The Union wants the Bundestag to vote again next week on the delivery of the Taurus cruise missile to Ukraine.
“The CDU/CSU parliamentary group will put the question of Taurus delivery up for a roll-call vote in the Bundestag in the coming week of the meeting.
Parliament must take control of the action,” said parliamentary group leader Thorsten Frei (CDU) to the
Rheinische Post
.

Union wants to vote again on Taurus deliveries to Ukraine
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) rejects the delivery of the Taurus missiles with a range of 500 kilometers to Ukraine because he fears that this could drag Germany into the war.
“I am the Chancellor, and that’s why this applies,” he said on Monday.
The Union now wants to put an application that was drafted in November to the vote.
It calls on the federal government to “immediately comply with the Ukrainian request for the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles from the Bundeswehr’s available stocks to the greatest possible extent.”
Scholz under pressure at Taurus – Kubicki announced a traffic light uprising
Two weeks ago, the CDU/CSU failed with a similar proposal in the Bundestag.
From the traffic light coalition, only the chairwoman of the defense committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (FDP), voted in favor.
This time things could be different.
The deputy FDP chairman Wolfgang Kubicki has already announced in the
Münchner Merkur
that he now wants to vote for the Union proposal.
“Last time, at least a dozen other colleagues I know would have loved to have agreed to the Union proposal, but they submitted to coalition discipline.
I was close to it too,” said Kubicki.
“This time it would be the point for me to do it.”
Union wants to have a vote on Taurus – Scholz “in front of the rubble of his baseless communication”
The parliamentary managing director of the FDP parliamentary group, Stephan Thomae, told the
Augsburger Allgemeine
that many FDP MPs disagreed with Scholz and considered his decision against delivering Taurus to Ukraine to be factually incorrect.

Union parliamentary group leader Frei said that at the end of this week Scholz would be “faced with the rubble of his baseless communication”.
It is therefore time “for the MPs to show him the way out of the impasse”.
The Union wants to put the motion on the Bundestag agenda for Thursday morning.
On Wednesday, Scholz will answer questions from MPs in parliament for the first time this year.
Taurus is likely to play a central role here too.
