426. Where can you obtain information on political issues in Saxony?

Answer options

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

Explanation

Responsibility lies with the Länder’s State Agencies for Civic Education; in Saxony, the Sächsische Landeszentrale für politische Bildung. These public yet party‑politically independent bodies rest on the Länder’s cultural competence and the constitutional commitment to promote the democratic order (Art. 20 Basic Law) and informed citizenship, consistent with freedom of information (Art. 5). Their work follows the Beutelsbach Consensus (no indoctrination, presentation of controversial issues, learner orientation) and provides pluralistic, scholarly resources and programs. The public order office, churches, and the consumer advice center have different legal mandates and are not neutral providers of civic education.
