From March 19 to 22, 2026, the major event will take place concurrently with the Leipzig Book Fair \u201eLeipzig Reads\u201c Book Festival\u201c<\/strong> takes place. With more than 2,000 events, visitors can experience literature and writers firsthand through readings, panel discussions, and hands-on activities. The Forum Recht Foundation will also serve as a venue for the reading festival on Thursday, March 19: Sociology professor Matthias Quent<\/strong> and the lawyer and author Ronen Steinke<\/strong> They begin discussing crisis management and the defense of fundamental rights.<\/p>\n

Ronen Steinke \u2013 Freedom of Expression (Berlin Verlag, 2026)<\/strong>
\nNever before in the Federal Republic of Germany have there been so many and such strict laws regulating and restricting freedom of speech as there are today. Over the past ten years, a large number of new provisions have been added to prohibit certain statements. The state now defines numerous statements as criminal offenses that, just ten years ago, clearly fell under the umbrella of freedom of speech. Ronen Steinke highlights where the boundaries of freedom of speech now lie, including in the digital realm. Especially in the current volatile situation, argues the lawyer with a doctorate in law, the country should dare to allow more freedom of speech instead of believing that people can be persuaded by silencing them.<\/p>\n

Matthias Quent \u2013 No Power in Powerlessness (Piper Verlag, 2026)<\/strong>
\nGermany in Crisis Mode: high prices, wars, climate change, political radicalization. Millions are reacting with anger or withdrawing into themselves. Powerlessness is a mass phenomenon\u2014many feel they can\u2019t do anything. This book analyzes the reactions within society: who fights, who flees, who freezes\u2014and why this will determine the future of our democracy. Drawing on new data and compelling case studies, it explains the mechanisms at work and shows how we can become active again and take action.<\/p>\n

Moderation: Shelly Kupferberg<\/strong><\/p>\n
