Lecture byProf. Dr. Alexander Thiele: Wehrhafte Demokratie (Defensive Democracy)

1 April 2025, 6:00 pm, by Internetredaktion

Democracy is under pressure. Populism, extremism and targeted disinformation campaigns are challenging the stability of the rule of law. But democracies are not defenceless. How can a liberal constitutional state defend itself against its enemies without jeopardizing its own fundamental values?

The Gesellschaft Hamburger Juristen (GJH) is delighted that

Prof. Dr. Alexander Thiele

will be speaking on the topic “Defensive Democracy”.

Prof. Dr. Thiele is Professor of Constitutional Theory and Public Law, in particular Constitutional and European Law.

The event will take place on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, 18:00. The venue is the plenary hall of the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court of Hamburg, Sievekingplatz 2, 20355 Hamburg,

Of course, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and make your own contributions during the discussion, which can then be continued over a glass of wine - as is always the case at GHJ events.

You are also welcome to bring guests. Registration is not required.

Please note that the event will take place in German.
