I'm German and my impression is that almost everyone is happy with the current model where you have a legally guaranteed right of holding CEOs accountable.
Everyone, except the American hedge funds trying to squeeze out more profits by increasing working hours, that is.
So to me, this article reads like "let's make Germany more like America in that the rich rule the poor".
And I find it rather surprising that they went with "Deutschland AG" because treating Germany like a country is usually only done by a rather weird tiny subset of citizens who refuse to adhere to laws and instead revel in conspiracy theories about foreign overloads secretly deciding what everyone has to do.
But most weirdly I find that I haven't heard this set of laws being discussed critically in German at all, but that instead an English article with odd word choice should be the first to criticise it.
