Explanation and justification

States of emergency are supposed to be exceptions – unpredictable, limited, retraceable.
But when a state begins to plan, institutionalize and automate them,
the state of emergency is no longer an instrument of reaction – but a tool of domination.

What state of emergency planning means

• Pandemic plans that specify measures – independent of Parliament
• Scenarios in which fundamental rights are restricted as a precautionary measure
• Emergency regulations in stock
• international treaties that undermine national sovereignty
• Algorithmic early warning systems with a duty to act

This is how the state of emergency is becoming the new form of government.

Why this is not harmless

• Because every future crisis serves to legitimize a prefabricated apparatus of exception
• Because control is then not democratically legitimized, but systemically activated
• Because citizens become accustomed to being unfree at intervals – depending on the authorities’ assessment of the situation

Our position

We2030 says:
Freedom must not be undermined by precautionary structures.
A democracy that plans a state of emergency says goodbye to the idea that the people are sovereign.

Anyone who plans a state of emergency does not want freedom.
Because anyone who puts freedom on demand has already abolished it.
