How does the AfD's request to identify the most common first names of German suspects relate to the lack of migration background data in police statistics?

The Senate's refusal, even after the court ruling, highlights the tension between transparency and data protection. The court found the risk of individual identification implausible given the large number of suspects (nearly 1200). The AfD's request aimed to infer migration backgrounds, which are not detailed in police statistics that distinguish only between German and foreign nationalities.

How did lobbying efforts by various industry groups and media outlets influence the German government's attempts to reform its energy policy in 2023?

The authors connect the 2022 energy crisis to broader patterns of lobbying and influence by fossil fuel interests. They highlight how powerful organizations like the INSM and Haus & Grund actively campaigned against Germany's proposed heating law, illustrating the deep-seated resistance to transitioning away from fossil fuels. This resistance is further fueled by media influence, as exemplified by the Springer press's opposition to the law, potentially linked to KKR's investment in both Springer and the oil industry.
