Agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

While The Left party is generally against military spending, they have shown some support for the idea of a European defense system as an alternative to NATO. However, their support is conditional on this system being non-aggressive and focused on peacekeeping and conflict prevention rather than military intervention.

Increase

The Left party in Germany has a strong anti-militaristic stance. They have consistently advocated for a reduction in military spending and for the money to be redirected towards social programs. For example, in their 2017 election program, they called for the abolition of NATO and the creation of a new system of collective security involving Russia, with disarmament as a central component.

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The Left party would not agree with this statement because they do not believe in increasing military spending under any circumstances. Their stance is not contingent on the state of the deficit. They believe that military spending should be reduced and the funds should be redirected towards social programs.
