Under the Constitutional Arch (Arco costituzionale)

Montag, 24. Februar 2025

The constitutional arch stands for the defense of democracy. I refuse to participate in parties outside this framework and advocate for political education to strengthen our constitutional order and provide no platform for anti-democratic forces.

We need the seventh sense for deliberative democracy. The party ban can be organized by each individual.

The term Arco costituzionale (constitutional arc) originates from Italy. It describes a concept that outlines the democratic basic order and its defense.

As a personal decision, I will no longer mention or consider those parties that are clearly acting outside the constitutional arc. This is particularly true for those who, while superficially using democratic processes, question or have questioned the constitutional order at every opportunity.

→ I understand this self-imposed restriction as my private, hegemonic party ban – a conscious decision not to provide a platform for anti-democratic forces, regardless of their current tactical alignment with democratic customs.

→ My recommendation to all those who feel compelled to be outraged by such parties: follow this example of deliberate disregard. Every post, every comment, and every emotional reaction to their activities – no matter how critical – is ultimately free advertisement for their cause. In today's interconnected world, digital presence, both positive and negative, transforms into real presence at the ballot boxes.

→ The substantive engagement with these parties should be left to the democratic institutions and courts designated for this purpose. They have the necessary resources and expertise to appropriately examine and assess critical activities.

Instead, I advocate for free and easily accessible political education for all citizens. Only through well-founded knowledge of democratic processes and values can we sustainably strengthen and protect our constitutional order.
