This document has played a vital role in shaping a peaceful and democratic Germany from the time it came into effect through reunification and up until now. The commitment to human dignity enshrined in its first article is a powerful testament to the nation’s democratic values.
This Basic Law must be especially guarded in view of the challenges posed by right wing extremists, anti-government rhetoric, physical attacks on politicians, and the general anti-establishment sentiments that seem to be disrupting the global order, The Basic Law’s principles provide a strong foundation for navigating current complexities and ensuring a bright future and now more than ever must be upheld.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
