-> The Joint Poverty Report 2019
The good news first: Poverty in Germany fell from 2017 to 2018. At minus 0.3 percentage points, it is only a slight decrease, and poverty remains at a high level in Germany at 15.5 percent, but it is at least the first decline since 2014 and the first decline in the rate by more than minimal 0. 1 percentage point since 2006. For the first time, the poverty rate among people with non-German citizenship, which had risen sharply since 2012, fell significantly and even more than average compared to the total population. The same applies to people with a migration background in general. The scissor development that has been observed for some years, according to which poverty among German citizens and residents without a migration background has decreased, while it has risen among foreigners and people with a migration background, has stopped in 2018.

-> Fighting hate and agitation online: BVDW (Bundesverband Digitale Wirtschaft/Federal Association of the Digital Economy) sees the rule of law in danger
Berlin, December 13, 2019: With a draft law published today, the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection (BMJV) proposes further measures to combat right-wing extremism and hate crime more effectively on the Internet. New regulations in various laws should make it possible for law enforcement authorities to request the passwords of their users from online services, for example, without a court order. In addition, the obligation to report certain illegal content by social network providers is to be introduced. As much as the Bundesverband Digitale Wirtschaft (BVDW) eV supports the efforts of the Federal Government in the fight against hatred and agitation on the Internet, it also strongly warns against a disproportionate erosion of the rule of law.

-> Working Paper on Security Policy No. 18/2019 - The Bundeswehr as part of a European Army Realistic Perspective or Unrealistic Vision?
The working paper provides an overview of the current debate about a European army. It comes to the conclusion that a communitarized European Army - measured against the requirements of a common security and defense policy, willingness to renounce sovereignty, harmonized "military culture", common armaments, compatible legal provisions - is unrealistic. An intergovernmental army of Europeans, or elements of one in which the states retain their sovereignty, is conceivable as a goal. Approaches are being discussed, including the EU Battle Groups, the European Air Transport Command, German-Dutch cooperation and permanent structured cooperation. For such European projects, however, the German parliamentary reservation in its current legal form proves to be an obstacle to cooperation.
