| Message | Herr Präsident, while I want to express utter disgust for Frau Schumer's absurd suggestion that our country looks like a "theocratic dictatorship" - an outrageous suggestion to make a few months before the 200th anniversary of the Septembrist democratic revolution -, we will support this bill as it is correct in substance. There is no need to ban sexually explicit material from TV as a general rule, since protecting children from such content can be easily attained through sensible parental guidance. Harald Matsuyama, MdR LVP-Budenlar Vize-Staatsminister |
