Dr. Bernd Baumann wrote that Harald Martenstein pointed out a contradiction: If all state power originates from the people, citizens must have the right and the actual opportunity to change the political direction.

This turns democracy, freedom, and elections into a farce. https://t.co/zxyrMdrXkp #Demokratie #Freiheit #Wahlen (translated)
