>In case you missed it, on November 18, the German parliament passed a law, the so-called “Infection Protection Act” (“Das Infektionsschutzgesetz” in German) formally granting the government the authority to issue whatever edicts it wants under the guise of protecting the public health. The government has been doing this anyway — ordering lockdowns, curfews, travel bans, banning demonstrations, raiding homes and businesses, ordering everyone to wear medical masks, harassing and arresting dissidents, etc. — but now it has been “legitimized” by the Bundestag, enshrined into law, and presumably stamped with one of those intricate official stamps that German bureaucrats like to stamp things with.
not totally wrong but let a german correct you.
The Infektionsschutzgesetz was not passed on the 18. of november.
it was a correction to that law that was passed because our Courts did something right and nullified some of the Covid-Meausures because they weren´t "legit" law wise.
So now the Bundestag changed the Infektionsschutzgesetz on the 18.of Nov to make it harder for the Courts to act against it (wich will lead to the opossite because now it is more attackable lawwise).
my 2 cents
