On Tuesday, the Berlin Senate initiated lowering the voting age from 18 to 16 years. The government passed a draft law, which will now be further discussed and passed in the House of Representatives. What do you think?
In the previous survey we wanted to know: Does Berlin need more special units for other hot spots? 3378 BZ readers voted. 61 percent think: Yes, there are dangerous places even in the outskirts. 33 percent believe that this would only make a difference if the penalties for drug trafficking were increased. Only 6 percent believe that more special forces are not necessary.
