New draft resolution encounters criticism

In a new draft of the resolution, which is planned by the traffic lights and the Union, "to protect Jewish life", there is sharp criticism. Former Greens Member of the Bundestag Jerzy Monday has expressed his concerns in a letter to the Greens faction leader. His main criticism is directed against the possible restrictions on freedom of art and science that could go hand in hand with the resolution. Monday calls for essential changes or the refusal to support the draft.

Monday, who himself has Jewish roots and lost family members in the Holocaust, explains in his letter that he is very important for personal and political reasons. According to Monday, the proposed review of promotions for anti -Semitic narratives would not lead to an anti -Semitism, but rather to cension and repression in the field of art, culture, science and expression in public space. Monday compares the draft resolution with statements by the value union or the Afd.

The resolution template, which is to be adopted by traffic lights and CDU, has been in circulation since last week. The Bundestag is expected to vote on it shortly after the summer break.

The draft resolution and the criticism of Jerzy Monday raise important questions about the protection of Jewish life and the need to combat anti -Semitism. It is of great importance that measures are taken to protect Jewish citizens and combat anti -Semitic narratives. At the same time, however, the freedom of art, culture, science and expression must not be restricted. This debate shows how complex the search for solutions is in this sensitive area.
