Translation
Maik and Sybille want to hold a demonstration on the street with friends at their place of residence in Germany. What must they do beforehand?
- A They must register the demonstration. ✓ Correct answer
- B They do not need to do anything. In Germany, you can demonstrate anywhere at any time.
- C They cannot do anything, because demonstrations are generally prohibited in Germany.
- D Maik and Sybille must form a new association, because only associations are allowed to demonstrate.
Explanation
Freedom of assembly is protected by the Basic Law, but outdoor demonstrations must still be registered with the authorities in advance. They are not generally forbidden and do not require forming an association.
Tips
- Outdoor demonstrations need advance notice, not a full permit and not a ban.
- Only associations having the right to demonstrate is a myth, individuals can register one too.
