Petitions: Bundestag Decides on Plenary Debate
The German Bundestag has decided to debate a petition in the plenary session that calls for a ban on the sale of fireworks to private individuals. The petition was signed by over 110,000 people and calls for a ban on the sale of fireworks to private individuals due to the dangers they pose to people, animals, and the environment.
The Bundestag’s Committee on Petitions had previously recommended that the petition be rejected, but the full Bundestag voted to debate the issue in the plenary session. The debate is expected to take place in the coming weeks.
If the Bundestag votes to support the petition, it would mean that the government would be required to introduce legislation to ban the sale of fireworks to private individuals. However, it is important to note that the Bundestag’s decision on the petition is not binding on the government.
The petition is one of a number of recent initiatives that have called for a ban on the sale of fireworks to private individuals. In 2020, the German government introduced a ban on the sale of fireworks with a loudness of more than 120 decibels. However, this ban has been criticized by some as being too lenient.
The debate over fireworks is likely to continue in the coming months. There are strong arguments on both sides of the issue, and it is ultimately up to the Bundestag to decide whether or not to ban the sale of fireworks to private individuals.
