What does it mean if the state is to grant fundamental rights only to certain groups\u2014such as those who belong to an ethnically defined \u201eGerman people\u201c? Such views are no longer a marginal phenomenon but have become part of public debate. They represent a nationalist legal ideology that calls into question the core principles of the democratic rule of law. The Forum Recht Foundation is addressing this issue.<\/p>\n

On September 10, 2025, on \u201eLet\u2019s Talk About Law,\u201c we\u2019ll be speaking with historian Prof. Dr. Uwe Puschner and legal scholar Prof. Dr. Alexander Thiele about the ideological and legal foundations of a way of thinking that not only calls individual rights into question but also challenges the legal foundations of our democratic order.<\/p>\n

What characterizes ethno-nationalist legal thinking, both historically and today? And how are legal concepts strategically reinterpreted to undermine or invert the principles of the rule of law, such as equality and human dignity? A particular focus is placed on the often-overlooked impact of such reinterpretations in ordinary law\u2014such as labor law or tenancy law\u2014that is, those areas of law that structure our daily lives together. This is not merely about attacks on the relationship between citizens and the state, but about far-reaching attempts to legitimize social inequality through the law.<\/p>\n

At the same time, we examine the question of how the law actually works. Why does it allow for room for interpretation? How does this enable individual justice? And how can it be abused?<\/p>\n

We cordially invite the audience to participate in the discussion by asking questions.<\/p>\n
