"Germany is a Democratic, Social and Worldview Neutral Federal State"
Giordano Bruno Stiftung calls for extension of Article 20 of the German Basic Law
The Federal Constitutional Court already pointed out in the 1960s that the state can only be a "home of all citizens" if it adheres to the principle of worldview neutrality. The Giordano Bruno Stiftung therefore calls for a corresponding clarification in Article 20 of the German Basic Law. In the future, the article must not only mention the principles of democracy, the welfare state, and federalism, but also the principle of the worldview neutrality of the state.
