   The word "race" will disappear from the German constitution. This is what Angela Merkel, Deputy Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Interior Minister Horst Seehofer agreed, according to the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, which writes it on the front page. The initiative is due to a proposal by the Greens, which was initially rejected.



    "The word race will be deleted, while the protection from racism will remain", writes the Munich newspaper.
