Family Minister Lisa Paus urges the FDP to approve the Democracy Promotion Act. For more than a year, the traffic light coalition has not been able to agree on a law to permanently support democracy projects.

Paus also suggested on Monday that, as in the previous legislative period, a cabinet committee should be set up to combat right-wing extremism and racism. She could develop “further measures” and be a further “answer to the fact that the population sees right- wing extremism as the greatest threat to our democracy”
