Energy infrastructure: Suspected sabotage – Greens attack Dobrindt over protection gaps
After suspected attacks on energy facilities, the Greens are accusing the federal government of negligence. In fact, there are still no concrete regulations for the operators of critical infrastructure.
A debate has erupted in Germany over the protection of critical infrastructure after suspected attacks on energy facilities in Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia. The Federal Ministry of the Interior has pointed to the responsibility of operators, while the Greens have accused the federal government of having gaps in protection and a slow implementation of the Critical Infrastructure Protection Act.
The Greens' politician Irene Mihalic has demanded a comprehensive concept for the security of critical infrastructure, criticizing the current situation as insufficient. The government is working on implementing the act, but a specific timeline for outstanding regulations has not been provided.
