2023/10/10
[2]

"A regulation on abortion outside of the German Criminal Code is constitutionally permissible, if not constitutionally required."

Police Prevent Protests in Front of the Vatican [3]

Abuse survivors were not allowed to demonstrate with the "Hammock Bishop" in Rome

2023/10/01
[3]

The Italian police prohibited the victims of the Catholic abuse scandal from demonstrating in front of the Vatican with the internationally renowned sculpture of the "Hammock Bishop". The banner "Aufklärung auf Katholisch", which shows the late Pope Benedict XVI, was also not allowed to be displayed at the demonstration last Saturday. Alleged reason: denigration of a head of state. In Meloni's Italy, freedom of expression is evidently held in low regard.

»Those who do not understand the constitution have no place in the Bundestag!« [6]

Members of parliament reprimanded for »gross foul play against the democratic rule of law«

2023/02/27
[6]

In 2015, 140 incumbent members of the Bundestag voted in favour of the unconstitutional Section 217 of the German Penal Code, which prohibited professional assisted suicide in Germany from 2015 to 2020. In light of the impending new regulation of assisted suicide, the MPs in question have now received a "yellow card" to remind them of the foul they committed against the democratic rule of law back then and to prevent them from making the same mistake yet again.

The Authoritarian Threat [10]

Identitarian politics as a danger to the open society

2022/09/25
[10]

Putin's attack on Ukraine is also an attack on the open society. The Russian ruler, however, is by no means alone in his religious-nationalist propaganda.

Since 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in the custody of the religious morality police, tens of thousands of Iranians have been protesting against their own government. The challenge now is to prevent the mullahs' regime from striking down the protests as bloodily as it did the "Green Revolt" in 2009.
