Freaking corrupt, incompetent servant of the all-powerfull German car-industry. German car industry has been milking the ICEs for decades, refusing to invest in electric, just because they could (because they are in essence running the goverment in germany and EU). Now, with china rightfully taking over EV sales in the EU they are crying out louder than ever that jobs will be lost in Germany. If any jobs eventually do get scraped, it will be due to their own decisions and inaction. I say, since these companies and their shareholders enjoyed they profits, let them bite the consequences. Let them get out of business and do let some European people lose their jobs. This can be a great learning opportunity for europeans, a grand lecture on the wonderful results of unhinged and extreme freaking capitalism.

Greece has a similar law in place. It is one of the main reasons why eventually corruption permeated greece.

You are confusing something with another political system.

Since ancient Greek times, where democracy was invented, severely unlawful behaviour was always being punished by also revoking political rights: offenders would loose both the right to vote and the right to represent others or hold any kind of public office.

And all of this exactly so as to protect the democracy itself.
