A sticking point for the coalition: how does the traffic light deal with the storage of crime-fighting data?
The FDP and the Greens reacted as expected to the initiative by Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD): We no longer need surveillance.
Of course, you yourself have to answer the question of how to win the fight against crimes against children on the Internet in particular.
If many perpetrators escape the prosecutors, then not only better staffing, but also powers and instruments must be considered.
balance between freedom and security
Data retention is also possible within limits.
Of course, the case law of the Federal Constitutional Court and the European Court of Justice must be observed.
But the legislators are based in Berlin and Brussels.
Of course, interventions by the state in civil liberties must “always be well justified”, as stated in the coalition agreement.
However, the state's toleration of serious interventions in the body and soul of children must also be justified.
Whoever governs not only sees himself confronted with new situations that deviate from the coalition agreement – he also bears a different responsibility.
The citizens manage to balance freedom and security quite well, the self-proclaimed civil rights parties have a much harder time with it.
