German government plans to prolong the use of nuclear power are “watertight,” Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said, rebuffing opposition claims that a bid to enact the law without putting it to the upper house would break constitutional rules.
“The interior and justice ministries spent months very carefully preparing the legal framework for an extension,” Bruederle said in an interview with ARD television in Berlin today. “I’m fully convinced that it is legally watertight.”
