“Our towns and municipalities are democratic, cosmopolitan and diverse. That is our strength and that is what we stand for”: This was declared by Tübingen District Administrator Joachim Walter and all the mayors of the towns and municipalities in the district of Tübingen. They are concerned about peaceful coexistence and the danger posed by extremism—regardless of whether it comes from the right or the left or is anti-Semitic. It is important to the signatories of the declaration to “personally stand up for democracy and to take a clear and unambiguous stance and position against extremist statements”. They know “how important social cohesion and solidarity are” from the communities in which people of different origins, religions and cultures live together peacefully. That is why the order of the day is to stand together and “actively and publicly” commit to the freedom and fundamental values of the Federal Republic of Germany.
