Explanation
Freedom of the press is enshrined in Article 5 of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany and is one of the fundamental rights that protect freedom and democracy in Germany. Fundamental rights cannot simply be abolished by a majority in the Bundestag, as they enjoy special protection that ensures individual freedom and the control of power by the citizens. This is a central aspect of the German constitution, which ensures that fundamental freedoms cannot be arbitrarily restricted.
