FYI: Döpfner is a vile billionaire and Trump lover deep in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry who had a major influence on the premature collapse of the last green/socdem German government. The neolibertairian FDP was an (albeit small) party in the government coalition whose plans to crash the government (named D-Day papers) were leaked shortly before it ended a year prematurely.
Döpfner is the head of the Springer publishing house which diseminates the infamous biggest daily boulevard magazine BILD which drove a relentless two year long smear campaign mainly against the Green party and specifically against the economy minister Robert Habeck and his plans to electrify Germany with solar, heatpumps and green hydrogen. The latter was a success nevertheless as Germany had a record production of renewables when the government crashed eventually.
Leaked messages between Döpfner and Julian Reichelt (a sex pest and then chief editor of the BILD) exist in which Döpfner advises him to empower the FDP via his “journalism” to let the Traffic Light Coalition (Greens, Workers red and neolib yellow) crash. In addition multiple investigative reports were published from independent outlets which prove deep ties between the Döpfner/Springer and fossil fuel lobbying organizations like e.g. KKR or the Koch Brothers.
And oh yeah, to perfect the picture: Döpfners son works for Peter Thiel.
we need wealth caps. 10 million networth max and then all your income goes to taxes until you drop below
We need independent journalism. With wealth caps, the government will have all the needed resources to fund independent finance institutions which can pay news organisations for independent news
And to stay on topic, I think Habecks stance on Israel changed quite a bit compared to the old quotes on his wike after he witnessed the violence of settlers and the destruction of Gaza when travelling to the region:

Which again goes to strengthen my points:
