Germany to remove Nazi language from laws

March 4, 2023



(RT) βΈ» German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann has announced that he will work to eliminate linguistic traces of the Nazi regime from the country's statute books. In a letter to several government departments last month, Buschmann identified ten laws and 12 other ordinances that needed "adjustment." These laws still contained terms like "Reich government" and "Reich Minister of the Interior." Additionally, some sections of the criminal code on murder and manslaughter refer to a "National Socialist theory of types of perpetrators." Germany's modern constitution came into force in 1949, but the country's penal code was passed by the German Empire in 1871 and survived through the Weimar Republic, Nazi rule, partition, and reunification. It has been significantly reworked over the last 150 years, most notably when passages criminalizing the dissemination of Nazi ideology were inserted after World War II.
