How Merz and the coalition want to make Germany safe POLITICO

The Union and the SPD are meeting for the first time this year in the coalition committee with a focus on competitiveness, resilience of democracy and the protection of critical infrastructure. After the arson attack on the Berlin power grid, the coalition agreed on the Kritis umbrella law, which has since been referred to the Interior Committee.

It is intended to better protect the country. Gordon discusses what it says with Jasper Bennink from POLITICO “Industry and trade in the morning”.

In a 200-second interview, Alexander Throm, domestic policy spokesman for the Union faction, explains why security should take priority over transparency in the future when it comes to infrastructure.

We’re going to Saxony-Anhalt: Sven Schulze is to be elected as the new CDU Prime Minister. With a narrow majority. Rasmus Buchsteiner classifies the situation on site.

Finally: Impressions from the WELT economic summit in the Axel Springer House. Between the pressure for reform, the new political tone and the question of how much AI accelerates politics and the economy.
