Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

Yes

“The AfH supports a free press and limited government intervention. Replacing state-recognised self-regulation with voluntary self-regulation gives the press greater independence while leaving existing laws and legal accountability in place. Freedom should be protected without unnecessary state control.”
