In a press interview, German Minister of Justice Christine Lambrecht (Social Democrats Party) announced that her ministry supports an extensive draft law on the protection of whistleblowers in Germany. She wants to expand the scope of the EU Whistleblowing Directive, so that protection will also cover violations of German law. This would implement a demand that German civil society such as NGO Whistleblower-Network e.V. have long called for. Other ministries involved in the implementation still strive for a 1:1 transposition of the Directive.
