The government changes the program Democracy lives. Karin Prien is the responsible minister. She wants to use money for projects better. The program exists for many years. It helps against hate and hate groups.
There are now stricter rules for money. Groups must apply again. Groups must pay some costs themselves. This is called Co-Financing. Only accepted groups can take part.
A new check exists from the state security. This is called Haber-Verfahren. The test checks if a group is dangerous. Critics do not like this test. They say the test is not open.
The program gets new parts. One part looks at the internet. There is much hate on the internet. Another part helps with integration. The minister wants to strengthen people in society.
