Müller highlighted that the current price increases surpass those observed following the outbreak of the Ukraine war in 2022, severely affecting construction companies that had entered fixed-price contracts with public authorities in February. This situation renders many projects economically unviable, as firms bear the sole burden of price volatility linked to international trade conflicts. Müller urged government intervention, criticizing the Bau- und Verkehrsministerium for insufficient support during this crisis, despite the federal government’s previous commitment to modernize infrastructure through substantial funding.
