Landtag refers constitutional discussion to committee - Schleswig-Holstein Parliament Debates Expanding State Goals, Including Climate Protection
The State Parliament of Schleswig-Holstein is set to continue its constitutional debate, with a focus on including further state goals such as climate protection and children's rights. The SPD, however, is holding firm on maintaining the right to analog access to authorities and courts.
The ongoing debate centers around the potential expansion of state goals in the constitution. There's broad agreement to include provisions for climate protection, children's and minority rights, and safeguards against antisemitism. Meanwhile, the SPD is steadfast in its position to retain the right to analog access to authorities and courts, despite no specific information on a potential waiver.
The inclusion of a reference to God in the preamble remains a contentious issue, with discussions yet to reach a conclusion.
The Interior and Legal Affairs Committee will reconvene to continue these discussions. The aim is to reach a consensus on these key issues and move forward with updating the state constitution.
