Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
ASTER	0	Yes	ASTER votes yes because this proposal strengthens two principles essential to a free and humane society: the right to peaceful civic participation and fair competition. Peaceful protest must remain protected, while clear limits can prevent disruption without silencing legitimate voices. Likewise, active competition laws can prevent dominant companies from excluding new competitors, protecting opportunity, innovation, and economic diversity. Freedom is not only the absence of restriction; it is also the presence of real opportunities to participate, speak, learn, and build. This law moves Holzminden in that direction. #ASTER 🌠
