we should start pushing opposite law in same way, something which would need to be repealed first to try push the chat control law again.

From the article:

As Voge from the Internet Society explains, Germany is key because there's a new government in charge. The previous government was indeed very pro-encryption – seeking to make encryption a legal right at home, while strongly opposing mandatory scanning in the block. Yet, the new administration "is giving very mixed messages and no one can definitively say what's going to happen on Friday," Voge added.

I really like the idea of encryption as a legal right.
