Bill: September. 4406 / Mediengesetz (Media Act)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Sozialistische Demokratische Partei
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 4407
Description[?]:
| Mediengesetz: To not allow free media and press is very suppressive of basic opinions of the people in the DDR. Our party, the SGP, proposes that we may have non-profit, but free, media and press. It is unethical for the government to continue owning all media and hiding the opinions of the people: hence, we believe it is for the benefit of the DDR's population; it is surely a basic expectation of such a libertarian government. Felix Keiffer Leader of SGP |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
