German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has assessed his country's abandonment of nuclear energy as a serious strategic mistake, stating that this decision has long-term consequences.
The editorial reports that the Chancellor emphasized Germany is currently undertaking the most expensive energy transition in the world and noted that this process creates significant challenges both economically and structurally.
According to him, no other country has chosen a path in energy policy as complex and costly as Germany, and this has created an additional burden for the state, industry, and consumers.
Merz believes that the decisions made should be re-evaluated in terms of energy security and competitiveness, and future steps should be taken based on a more balanced and pragmatic approach.
