On October 19, 2025, a public debate on the topic “Compassion or Justice?” was held at Forum Factory.
Over three rounds, the speakers discussed issues relevant to modern Germany—social benefits, bureaucracy, and migration.
The debate drew more than 200 spectators, who did not remain on the sidelines: they posed 161 questions to the speakers, actively participating in the discussion.
After each round, the audience voted for the participant whose arguments they found most convincing.
This gave rise to a true intellectual show, combining discussion, analysis, and raw emotion.
We thank everyone who was part of this evening!
