In this process, the respective authorities should be able to dismiss their civil servants themselves if they are suspected of unconstitutional attitudes or actions. “With this, the Interior Minister primarily places federal civil servants under a presumption of guilt due to the misconduct of a few. Additionally, she reverses the burden of proof, as those affected would then have to sue against their dismissal and prove their innocence. This violates our principles of the rule of law. I am counting on FDP Justice Minister Marco Buschmann, whose department is also affected by the law, to stop these plans,” said Secretary General Marcel Mucker. “It is correct that the state defends itself against unconstitutional groups such as the Reichsbürger movement by all means. However, more sensible and effective than blaming a group are preventive measures such as education and democracy promotion.”
