But is it really beating around the bush or simply reporting it for what it is? No laws have been written yet and Bundestag and Bundesrat have to agree to them. Yes, it is likely that most of the announced changes will become reality, but for now nothing changed.

In general I strive to use news sources that put as much plain information in the title as possible, on the account of people reading titles only. Mainstream media didn’t provide any that would satisfy me so I went with Novara and this slightly alarmist tone (which can be also taken as a manner of speech) because alarmism is well founded in this case.
