What's IFG ??

Quantenteilchen@discuss.tchncs.de · 8 pts · 46d

The law about freedom to request information from the current government as an individual or group. (Informationsfreiheitsgesetz; literally Information-freedom-law: the law which governs who can request what information for which purposes and in what way from whom in the government.)

Basically transparency regulations.

He isn't just a moron, he is corrupt. I bet he is getting some sort of personal benefits from the pesticide industry.
