77 years ago today, the Grundgesetz (Basic Law) was promulgated. It's Germany's bulwark against authoritarianism - protecting democracy, human dignity, freedom & the rule of law. It was at the 1948 London Conference that πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§Β & other Western allies called for the constitution.

Especially in our current climate it is vital to cooperate across borders to step up our fight against antisemitism in all its forms. With @LordJohnMann and @Jon4HighPeak I discussed how we can improve the protection of Jewish communities in our countries together.
