336. Where can you obtain information on political issues in Brandenburg?

Answer options

1. from the churches
2. at the municipal public order office
3. at the State Agency for Civic Education
4. at the consumer advice center

Explanation

In Brandenburg, reliable non-partisan information on politics is provided by the State Agency for Civic Education (Landeszentrale für politische Bildung). It is a Land authority operating under the Länder’s cultural sovereignty and in cooperation with the Federal Agency, a post-war institution of democratic re-education and civic consolidation. Its work follows the Beutelsbach Consensus (controversy requirement, prohibition of overwhelming, empowerment for analysis and action) and gives effect to constitutional principles of the free democratic basic order, notably Article 5(1) of the Basic Law (freedom of information) and Article 20 (the democratic principle). Churches, the municipal public order office, and the consumer advice center have different remits and are not organs of state civic education.
