FAZ objection podcast: How crises change insolvency law

Since the beginning of the corona pandemic, legislators have repeatedly changed insolvency law - more recently, adjustments have been made due to the economic consequences of the Ukraine war.

With Anke Deike Riewe, Chair of the Working Group on Insolvency Law and Reorganization of the German Lawyers' Association, we take a closer look at the changes in the law and discuss the question of whether too many "zombie companies" are being dragged through the crisis.

Last week, the Federal Constitutional Court strengthened the Bundestag's right to information.

The dispute between organs involved two specific cases in connection with European refugee policy in 2015. We analyze the significance of the decision beyond that.

Since February, the Frankfurt Regional Court has been dealing with the nationwide series of threatening letters from the "NSU 2.0".

The sender primarily chose women, left-wing politicians, people with a migration background, journalists and prosecutors, and in some cases even threatened their children with the worst violence.

The Hessian police scandal also originated in the procedure: some data from the threatening letters were queried on police computers beforehand.

Now the verdict is pending - we describe impressions from the courtroom.

Also on the show: A "Fair Comparison" - instead of the "Fair Judgment".
