Gunnar Schupelius: My Fury - Stand up for the Constitution against the administration!
"In Germany, we've enjoyed 75 years of freedom, peace, and democracy due to our Constitution, but this success can't be taken for granted," states the invitation. This statement holds truth - there's never been a time in the country's history where people have lived as freely and safely in the west since 1949 or throughout the nation since 1990. Freedom and justice must constantly be defended since they face many adversaries.
Both assertions are valid: Germans have never experienced this level of liberty and stability prior to 1949 in the west and after 1990 in the entire country. To maintain freedom and justice, one must be ever-vigilant against enemies, which include those not exclusively on the far right.
The German government points to the far right as the main threat to democracy. However, this perspective is narrow-minded. Besides right-wing extremists, such as the Reichsbürger who reject the Federal Republic as a state, there are more adversaries.
Secondly, going back to the 1960s, opposition towards the democratic state arose from the far left. The student movement sought a new socialism, and the Red Army Faction aimed to bring it about through murder and manslaughter. Additionally, squatters, anti-nuclear activists, and other groups fought against the state.
Thirdly, radical Islam isn't recognizing some core principles of the Constitution, such as freedom of thought and religion and the equality of the sexes. More and more Islamic individuals in Germany wish to dismantle the state and establish a caliphate.
Fourthly, the lockdown revealed how the government might pose a threat to the Constitution by recklessly disregarding fundamental rights. During 2020 and 2021, freedom of speech was invited below the criminal threshold by the Federal Minister of the Interior and the President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. This is a danger to Article 5 of the Constitution.
Fifthly, the EU is also a threat to our democracy. Up to 70 percent of our laws stem from EU directives, bypassing the German Bundestag and relying on them as a proxy. This deviates from the Constitution, which positions the citizens, or people, as the highest legislative authority.
Therefore, the Constitution must be safeguarded against the EU Commission and potentially the Federal Government if it seeks to limit fundamental rights and democratic processes.
The Constitution ensures both democratic participation and individual rights of citizens, particularly regarding the state.
