“If the need arises, we will continue to act with the same consistency and speed,” Mr. Hambeck told Welt am Sonntag, noting that despite a 25% cut in gas consumption, German industrial production fell by only 1.4 %.

Germany will not back down on the issue of the war in Ukraine, despite the energy crisis, emphasizes Economy Minister Robert Habeck, addressing Russian President Vladimir Putin, who, he says, “needs to calmly see how effective this government is and this democracy”.

“If the need arises, we will continue to act with the same consistency and speed,” Mr. Hambeck told Welt am Sonntag, noting that despite a 25% cut in gas consumption, German industrial output fell by only 1.4 %.

“This shows that it is possible to have an efficiency gain. Under price pressure, we are able to provide responses consistent with market economy conditions. This shows how resilient the country is,” states Robert Hambeck and concludes: “Whoever says that Germany will deindustrialize is making calculations without the determination of the federal government,” says the “green” economy minister.
