CDA wants to enter military service: ' the connection should be back '

Buma says in an interview with the AD that it is time that there is ' an end to the non-binding nature '. "We have nothing more in this society where our young people from their social context. After the elementary school are leading surgeons and truck drivers never against each other. Everyone sits in his own group. ''

' Start at the instigators ' what Buma is concerned, the conscription in principle ' step by step ' in defence be introduced, ' but maybe also be fulfilled to the police or the care '. Obligatory, for everyone. "So also for girls, for example after high school. That cannot, of course, all of a sudden. Let's start with the wheel Turners. There is a very large group to which membership of the society is likely to miss. "

The Christian Democratic Appeal politician says that this is a beginning to solve problems in the country. "Citizen of a country also means that you do something together. For example that everyone feels that it is our common responsibility is to defend this country. The connection should be back. We scold, about Government, about others, about Europe. But as soon as someone is asked what he does to the problems, he crawls behind his call for the world to view. And then we scold quietly through. "

Safety is everyone's task that conscription is going to cost a lot of money, see Buma not as a problem. "Money don't have the horde. There is a lot of opposite. For example, look at Switzerland. That has a huge conscript armed forces. There is a very deeply rooted idea that the security of the country is everyone's task, even though it is not directly the threat of an attack. "

How long the conscription should last? "Over the period, to talk. A year maybe. Or a half. "

Social debate itself is never been in service, because Buma for medical reasons, he was rejected. Buma would like that there is a societal debate about whether something needs to change in Netherlands. The non-binding nature "that we have to. It is crippling as a society are mutual bond loses. "

The CDA leader hopes that other parties call ' on this path '. "I don't pretend to have a single solution, but wants a radical break. That conscription should be there. "
