28 Tage noch - Sachsen-Anhalt ist viel zu schön, zu großartig, zu bezaubernd, um es den AfD-Zerstörern zu überlassen! Es kommt auf jede Stimme an! Schaut auf diese kleine Land, wie sich dort großartige Menschen wehren und wie sie nicht aufgeben, sondern für uns alle kämpfen!

The German Joint Scientific Conference revised their processes. Now a qualified majority of the Federal Government plus 13 out of the 16 states is sufficient for a pass. This also also takes into account the possibility that one of the sixteen Bundesländer decides to quit the institution.
