Daniel Roi (AfD) warns of deficiencies in disaster preparedness – inquiries on behalf of Putin? Control center without power, unreachableAt the citizen dialogue on February 13, 2026 in Hohenmölsen, state parliament member Daniel Roi (AfD) voiced sharp criticism of how German municipalities are prepared for crisis situations. In his remarks, which focused primarily on civil and disaster protection, he described concrete examples from his municipal political work and warned of structural weaknesses in emergency plans and infrastructure. Criticism of political debate cultureRoi first explained that parliamentary inquiries by his faction on disaster protection were often interpreted politically. He rejected accusations that such inquiries were made on behalf of foreign interests and instead emphasized that critically reviewing government precautionary measures is a core duty of members of parliament. The CDU, he said, has been submitting comparable inquiries for years.Example: power outage in Bitterfeld-WolfenAs a specific example, Roi cited a power outage in Bitterfeld-Wolfen. During the outage, the local emergency dispatch center was temporarily unreachable, even though it has an emergency generator and backup power system. The technical safeguards did not function, which is why citizens were informed via warning apps to contact the police instead. At the same time, fire departments were alerted through an improvised telephone chain.For Roi, this incident shows how important functioning emergency technology is. A blackout, he said, makes clear how quickly central infrastructure can fail and how strongly municipalities then have to improvise. Lack of emergency plans in administrationsAccording to his statements, the city administration currently has no clear plan for how the town hall should remain operational during a power outage. There are also deficits at the district level: in the finance committee of the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district, it was reportedly stated that no district-owned building has a feed-in capability for emergency power.Even where new buildings are technically prepared—such as fire stations—the necessary equipment is often missing. For example, there may be feed-in devices, but no generator capable of actually supplying electricity. Situation in smaller townsRoi also referred to his hometown of Talheim, where a new fire station hall likewise exists. There too, he said, the technical option for emergency power is present, but no corresponding generator has been purchased. For him, this is an example of how planning and actual operational readiness diverge.Warning of larger crisis scenariosThe politician emphasized that his criticism does not relate to military scenarios, but to everyday crisis situations such as power outages. As another example, he mentioned a major power outage in Berlin that affected tens of thousands of households and temporarily impaired heating, care facilities, and other vital services.In his remarks, Roi painted a picture of a disaster protection system that, in his assessment, is insufficiently prepared in many places. His central demand is that municipalities must develop emergency plans, acquire technology, and test it regularly. Only in this way, he argued, can it be ensured that in an emergency, rescue services, administration, and public infrastructure remain operational.
