Moderator Frank Henkel speaks with Prof. Dr. Rupert Scholz, former German Federal Minister of Defense, about the increasingly escalating demonstrations in Germany – and why, in his view, the state is not acting decisively enough.
Scholz emphasizes that Article 8 of the Basic Law guarantees freedom of assembly only for peaceful demonstrations. However, blockades, violence, intimidation, and property damage show that this boundary is being crossed with increasing frequency.
He criticizes the fact that authorities and politicians often hesitate to draw clear consequences.
He is particularly clear about the responsibility of local political decision-makers:
In his view, anyone who calls for protests that could foreseeably escalate bears partial responsibility for the consequences.
Why are rioters being protected while the police, citizens, and businesses bear the brunt?
Why are fundamental rights being violated?
And: When will the state finally take decisive action?
