Overview
- The proposal outlines a council bringing together state ministers, the Bundeswehr state commander, heads of security agencies, regional authorities, municipal associations and civil protection to plan strategy and assess threats.
- CDU leaders cite a changed risk environment "from cyberattacks to knife attacks" as the reason for centralizing crisis management.
- Schools would be required by law to work with Bundeswehr youth officers as part of civic education so every student has at least one encounter with soldiers.
- Universities would scrap Zivilklauseln and adopt a statewide cooperation rule, with cooperation that could be mandated in cases of national security.
- A police "Sofortprogramm Drohne" and a push to make the state a hub for drone production and counter-drone systems, including cooperation with Ukraine, accompany an industry focus noting over 42,000 defence-related jobs, with all measures still proposals awaiting action.
