On German Unity Day, Federal Council President Andreas Bovenschulte called for greater recognition of different paths in life and a determined commitment to democracy.
German unity was a joint decision, said the SPD politician and mayor of Bremen at the ceremony in the Hanseatic city. «The East Germans were not spectators of their history. You made history." Good work, education and reliable public services should not be a question of zip code.
At the same time, Bovenschulte warned against forces that question equal rights and despise free media, independent courts and science. “Democracy needs debate. But the political opponent is not an enemy,” said the Federal Council President. Unity is not just a historical act, but a mission for the future.
