| Message | Herr Sprecher We believe if the DVLP will reread Articles 1 and 5, it will see that those articles seek to undo the state operating religions which it is currently doing - appointing ministers and paying their salaries. Hardly a secular state at all. DZP assistant Delegation Leader v. Klugermann |
