- The government is obliged to grant your request to leave the country unless there actually is a war.
- There is no penalty if you leave the country without government approval.
Do you have a source that says the government has to grant your request? I tried scouring the law and it seems true but I struggle with the lingo.
Also the changes that were last made to the law seem to explicitly differentiate between war and none war situation as to which paragraphs are applied so they could have applied that paragraph only to situations of war. So I still think a Discussion and some scrutiny is warrented here as to why we “kept” this rule.
The government can and will change that law when they decide it is needed. Just because they are not enforcing it right now doesn’t mean they can’t find you guilty at a later date.
You should never need permission from the government to travel.
Also this isn’t a new law but a remain of the cold war era.
Article is irrelevant - we had this discussion in Germany 1 week ago.
TL;DR See comment below.
Sorry, last time I checked the Discussion got started with the article in fr on the 03.04. (Friday) which wasn’t a week ago but just before the weekend. And the discussion doesn’t seem “finished” to me.
Also as I commented at the comment mentioned by you they could have exempted article 3 from situations outside of “war”. Or they could have updated/changed it all together.
In this case, I would advise them to simply ignore the law, or protest to have it revoked. It does not make sense.
Stop voting for right wing parties, folks
That decision was not done by right wing parties.
Last time I checked CDU was a right wing party? And the sPD will do most of their bidding to be in power
“When Russia attacks I want someone else to defend me”
I will absolutely defend Germany when Russia attacks, but I will not fight any of Americas and Israels wars!
Not even against America and Israel?
What a beautiful strawman you built there.
No, they want to leave Germany instead of making someone defend them there.
I hope to leave people like you behind when someone attacks:)
I can promise you Russia does not care to attack any of the EU. If you’ve been tricked into believing something different, get a better education.
Depends on how exclusionary you define Europe.
If the “lesser white people” are Europeans you are wrong. The Baltics must be free.
Yet.
Or ever. Germany has no natural resources and generally has not been enough of a pain since the Soviets freed you from Nazi control to be a danger to Russia. Why would they invade? Germany doesn’t even have a large contingency of Russian citizens in it.
maybe you don’t know, but Europe does not consist solely of Germany. there are a few more countries to the “right” on the map.
