Söder's cross decree soon before the Constitutional Court? Critics of religion want to continue complaining. The Association for Freedom of Thought (BFG) wants to file a constitutional complaint before the Federal Constitutional Court.

The BFG believes that the administrative regulation for hanging crosses in official buildings in Bavaria, which has existed since 2018, violates the state's requirement of neutrality. In addition, the Christian religion is preferred over other world views, says the BFG chairwoman Assunta Tammelleo.
