FAZ objection podcast: Will there be social unrest in the fall, Mr. Lindner?

What is the right way to get the country through the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine?

In view of inflation and rising gas prices, the federal government has announced a third relief package, and Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) also wants to relieve citizens of taxes.

In the interview, we talk to him about whether the right people are getting on with it and how war and the crisis could also change Germany in other respects.

The judiciary has problems recruiting new staff: Courts and public prosecutors are finding it increasingly difficult to fill positions.

This is also felt by the social courts, which also have to struggle with the fact that social law hardly plays a role in studies.

Also in this program: An analysis of Gerhard Schröder's lawsuit for the restoration of his special rights, a letter to the editor from the general director of the Taipei representation in Germany
