Laschet's draft assembly law in North Rhine-Westphalia:

April 12, 2021 - Attack on fundamental rights - Broad protest alliance founded

+++ Protest alliance heralds resistance to the planned assembly law in North Rhine-Westphalia
+++ Alliance warns: The bill is an attack on the fundamental right of freedom of assembly
+++ Various protests planned online and offline

In North Rhine-Westphalia, a broad civil society alliance is forming against the planned assembly law at the state level. The draft law of the black and yellow state government represents an attack on the basic democratic right of freedom of assembly. The alliance “Stop the Assembly Act NRW - Preserve Fundamental Rights” therefore wants to critically accompany the legislative process and in this way prevent this problematic law.

“Various regulations are intended to make it more difficult for civil society actors to draw attention to their concerns with public gatherings such as rallies or demonstrations and to participate in the formation of political will. Instead of focusing on the protection of the fundamental right of freedom of assembly, the draft law creates far-reaching authorizations for the police. This is granted considerable power of interpretation and decision-making in the context of assemblies. This creates a further basis for arbitrary police action and restricts democratic rights, ”explains alliance spokeswoman Michèle Winkler ...

Media and greenwashing

Greenwashing

Greenwash or greenwashing (green dyeing) is understood to mean when companies try to give themselves an environmentally friendly image with the help of public relations and PR campaigns. No wonder that nuclear companies, which have a bad reputation in Germany and other countries, also use this strategy.

LobbyControl published a study in 2007 [1] in which it examined the goals and instruments of greenwashing. Companies usually aim to achieve greater acceptance for their business areas, to influence political decisions or to receive government support, for example for climate protection projects. LobbyControl differentiates between advertising campaigns, sustainability reports, environmentally friendly model projects and much more ...

Wikipedia

Greenwashing

or Greenwash (English; literally 'green wash', translated: 'put on a green coat') is a critical term for PR methods that aim to give a company an environmentally friendly and responsible image in public without actually doing it a sufficient basis. The term alludes to green as a symbol for nature and environmental protection and laundering in the sense of money laundering or washing yourself clean. As an analogy to whitewashing (English for beautiful coloring, translated: 'get yourself a white vest'; derivation from whitewash for "sump lime") in German it can also be translated as green dyeing ...
