75 years of the Basic Law: Unease is mixed with pride, says Federal President Steinmeier. He demands more money for defense and from politicians to explain themselves better.
The Basic Law brought freedom and responsibility to Germany, said Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. But now democracy must also be defended.
The state ceremony for the Constitution anniversary began in Berlin. President Steinmeier calls on Germany to defend its values and assert itself: 'Rougher, harsher years are coming our way.'
With a state ceremony, the top officials of state and society celebrate the coming into force of the Basic Law in Berlin 75 years ago. The central speech is held by Federal President Steinmeier. Watch the state ceremony live here.
A country in bad shape: The anniversary of the Basic Law provides no reason to celebrate.
A temporary solution that has become permanent: For 75 years, the Basic Law has ensured political stability in Germany. First only in the West, since 1990 in West and East. It's being celebrated now.
