German coalition government moves to restrict citizens' right to information

The German federal government (coalition) is planning to restrict the right to freedom of information. Currently, citizens can request information from federal authorities without stating a reason. New coalition committee decisions propose requiring a "legitimate interest" for such requests, which would significantly limit public access to government information.
