Germany’s government coalition has prioritized enhancing protection for critical infrastructure following a January attack on the Berlin power grid, which left thousands without electricity and disrupted essential services. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized the need to strengthen resilience, reduce dependencies, and bolster economic capacity. The coalition aims to improve security against sabotage, hybrid threats, and cyberattacks through increased investment and stricter information controls. Measures include limiting public access to infrastructure details and raising protection standards to enable faster repairs and emergency responses. The focus also extends to fostering economic competitiveness through innovation, workforce reforms, and infrastructure development, alongside efforts to simplify bureaucracy and ensure energy affordability.
