Statement delivered by the President of the Landtag, Mr. Köönig - Proposal requested for a work safety directive on shielding employees from ionizing radiation hazards, as assigned to the Commission.
Hey there, folks! Let's dive into a pressing topic that's been buzzing around.
Thadaeus König, Thuringia's Landtag President, recently made a pressing statement about democracy on the 80th anniversary of the liberation from National Socialism. This significant milestone signifies 80 years of unprecedented peace in our strong democracy, and König believes it's crucial that we uphold and defend this accommodation. As he puts it, "We must preserve this by standing up for others and the fundamental principles of our society from within."
No Respect for the Victims: König's Take on Trivialization
Germany bears a unique historical responsibility, with an obligation to commemorate the atrocities committed during National Socialism. According to König, those who jeopardize Jewish lives, incite hatred, and challenge democratic principles are misinterpreting the lessons of May 8th. He strongly condemned those who deny or diminish the Holocaust, stating they show no respect towards the victims, survivors, and their descendants.
Thuringia's Landtag President to Attend Berlin Ceremony
On May 8, 1945, the German Wehrmacht unconditionally surrendered, effectively ending World War II. This year, Thuringia's Landtag President Thadaeus König is set to participate in the federal commemorative ceremony in Berlin. The 80th anniversary is a special, statutory holiday observed only in the capital.
In summary, it's essential for us to remember the past and uphold the democratic principles we've fought and worked hard to establish. Let's stand together, as Thadaeus König urges us, for a stronger, more respectful democracy today and tomorrow.
