German democracy project sues after funding cut following Merz criticism
Süddeutsche Zeitung·DE·1 day ago
The German civic education project 'Radical Daughters' is suing the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) and the Federal Ministry of the Interior after promised funding was withheld, citing suspected political interference. The lawsuit challenges the executive's funding discretion and raises questions about state neutrality in civic education. This is a domestic legal dispute with implications for political funding practices in Germany.
