Even CSU policy should smile in confidential discussions when they think about Marcus Suder and the Cross: in 2018, this person was appointed Prime Minister in the last year of the legislative period and was going to conduct a campaign. Then he decided to please the free condition with the help of crosses. In April, the office said goodbye to the controversial cruise, which soon entered into force: in the future, the cross was to hang in every state building.
Pretty special images that he showed how he himself hung a cross in the state office, showed Sedere. His facial expressions had something devilish, later the leading politician CSU said. Even the churches reacted at that time. The cross, some bishop discovered, did not suit the campaign for the purposes.
Soon, the department noticed that the cross in Bavaria was no longer necessarily a big fan. The topic moved very far in his list of priorities. In any case, nothing became known about the sanctions against the owners who did not hang the cross.
Crosses largely met with non -preservable. Otherwise, in Hullerta-gymnasium in Volnzakh in the area of Pfuffenhofen at Ilme, where the cross in the entrance area was unmistakable: a crucified person greeted the bunks personally from 1.50 meters and a width of 50 centimeters.
The thing should go, find two students
Two of the students were so concerned about the fact that they asked to extinguish the crucifix. The school did not want to do. Now the Bavarian administrative court decided in favor of former students who sued the school decision. This, according to the decision, was forced to remove the crucifix.
Reason: The cross is a religious symbol and, thus, is an intervention in the constitutionally guaranteed negative freedom of faith. “The plaintiffs were forced to be obligatory and repeated, as well as repeating, as well as in relation to its position without (reasonable) alternative with crucifixion.”
Of course, the attitude of the state government, which always argued against the Cruiser Seder, always argued that the cross was primarily a religious symbol, and the expression of the Christian character of Bavaria.
The fact that judges were able to decide in the interests of the applicants is primarily due to the fact that the cruise in high school has no reliability. According to the law, crucifixes should be added in primary, secondary and special schools and even in each class, but not in secondary schools.
“Bavaria is a country of diversity”
However, the state government protest was more of behavior. The head of the CSU parliamentary group Klaus Kholtsoshki said that court decisions should be respected, but he regretted the decision of the Bavarian administrative court. “Bavaria is a country of diversity and tolerance, but Bavaria is also a country with a character of a Christian racer. The cross denotes not only the Christian faith, but for such values as charity, mercy and responsibility for each other. ”
Holetschek also emphasized that the cruise is not questioned in accordance with the decision. This is a special individual case. And: “The cross belongs to Bavaria.” The judgment will now be evaluated.
The Minister of Culture Anna Stolts was also expressed by free voters. She accepts the verdict “mark”. Of course, the consequences are checked. The German press agency was also interested in this and asked in Hallertau-Gymnasium whether the cross would remain. The school did not comment on this.
