The Federal Chancellery has arbitrarily decided to close the Federal Political Forum.
A broad-based committee is fighting this decision with an online petition.
Around 30,000 visitors and 500 school classes visit the Käfigturm every year.
If the Federal Chancellery has its way, this will come to an end at the end of 2016.
The petition demands that the Käfigturm can continue to operate in the tried and tested manner.
Civic education and knowledge transfer must not be cut without replacement because the Politforum strengthens democracy.
