Personal Comment on the matter and living through it all in Germany

This whole thing was a long ass nightmare…

A lot of conservative politicians and our far-right parties wantes this to be canned and instead asked for a more restrictive policy.

The CSU (Bavarias special version of the CDU) already founded a dedicated new ministery for “extremly restrictive interpretation of the new laws”. Thats how bad the f***ing right-wingers are about this progreasive approach! Im to tired to search for the source on that right now, if someone else could to that, I would greatly appreciate it.

Its still hard to believe. Even now it feels very surreal that, within a few days, the technically still existent damocles-sword of illegallity will be gone. This whole law was passed around, rewritten, ammended and changed so often, many thought it would never even pass within our lifetimes, if at all.

Even today, there was so much interest and tension in this thing, the streaming-server broadcasting the vote just cracked under the storm of viewers wanting to see how this would go down.

Thanks to all the people who tirelessly pushed for this. Your work made this happen and you deserve all the praise in the world for it. I hope we can archive more things like this in the comming future.

Usually we Germans are very hesitant to be proud of our country, for very obvious hystorical reasons. But I feel we can make an exception for this one.

Because Im proud of my country for once! Good job!
