Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Heuschreckendebatte
So kurz vor der
Landtagswahl in Nordrhein-Westfalen,
mitten in der aufgeladenen Heuschreckendebatte,
wür- de sich das Unternehmen
kaum derart politisch angreifbar
machen.

I gather this was a debate in Germany about the role - good or bad - of foreign equity firms. Can anyone give me a short explanation and suggest a translation? Thanks in advance!

as locusts
It was Franz Müntefering (chairman of the SPD) who said that venture capitalists swarmed in like locusts, bought up companies, then closed them down and destroyed the jobs and the country\'s assets.
Or words to that effect.
