Community is urged to rally around individuals in need of support. - Weil, the Minister President, emphasizes that democracy has historically remained resilient.

Stephan Weil, the Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, stresses the significance of Germany's constitution, the Basic Law. To commemorate its 75th anniversary, he went to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp memorial near Celle on Tuesday. When asked if he thought democracy was in danger, he stated, "It's not in any trouble, but it's even stronger than before."

While at the memorial, Weil recounted, "This place has always been one of the most awe-inspiring locations in Lower Saxony's history, considering how it appeared here in 1945 when British soldiers liberated Bergen-Belsen." The camp was freed by the British in April 1945, with over 50,000 people passing away there.

Weil also learned about a program called Aktion Neustart, run by the Lower Saxony Office for the Protection of the Constitution, which is designed to assist people in leaving the extremist scene safely and effectively. He concluded his visit by visiting the Politics to Touch association, which strives to encourage individuals to engage with democracy through projects and hands-on activities.
