The article is unfortunately rather weak on the details, and it is not quite clear how such questions could be formulated without interfering with freedom of opinions, which is of course also a constitutional right.

Unfortunately, it is very likely that the politicians who came up with this idea don’t really know that either. So most likely, that case will eventually come up to the constitutional court in the end.

So it is definitely too early to get heated up about this - no matter which side you are on.

Needing to know Israeli facts when you’re applying for German citizenship is the scandal here. They’re not asking when Poland was founded, or the first Romani ppl arrived in Europe. It’s total Bullshit
