The Scottish Young Greens are aware that as a Western European organisation to bring in this kind of amendment doesn't look the best, however the issue of NATO is a difficult discussion point in FYEG. As this resolution stands at the moment we cannot support it and would find it very difficult to explain to our membership and mother party why this is happening on the European level.
NATO is a very country-specific issue and therefore we respect individual MO's perspectives and decisions, however we could never support NATO membership ourselves.
The Scottish Young Greens and Scottish Greens are in support of lethal aid and support the Ukrainian people and nation to fight for their territorial integrity and peace in their country. Increasing NATO members spending will not promote peace or prevent war.
