Annalena Baerbock's ministry moved the 16th-century crucifix of the Münster town hall before the G7 foreign affairs summit, to which the local councilors used to swear - it can be read on the Mandiner.
Spiegel reports : the foreign ministers of the G7 economic powers met in the historic town hall of the German city of Münster. In 1648, the negotiations of the Peace Treaty of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years' War, were also held in the ancient building.
A crucifix from 1540 stands in front of the wood-clad wall in the Peace Hall of the Münster town hall - it is in front of this that the members of the city council take their oath to this day.
According to German newspapers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Berlin ordered the city to remove the crucifix from the hall of the city hall for the duration of the summit. The ministry justified this by saying that personalities from different religious backgrounds will participate in the meeting.

Well, this careful German precision - although in many other areas the previous pedantry is no longer a thing of the past - although the question is, has there ever been an example of when a high-ranking politician visited a country of a religion that he did not practice, then in his honor the religious symbols. Hardly. Thus, it can be assumed that something else could be behind this step.
Just as a reminder, a similar case happened in the past few days, which caused great indignation - especially in the Christian community - because a few days ago, Claudia Roth, the Culture Commissioner of the Green Party, suggested that biblical quotes and other they are overwritten with texts.
It seems that the green politicians switched to cultural politicization instead of environmental and climate protection, saying that in today's economic crisis, which they also caused, it is not relevant to promote the "verbs" that they characterize. So, in the name of rainbow diversity, they begin to destroy the symbols of the past, saying that Christian conservatism has nothing to do in today's world, the spirit of the age demands something else.
We can say that this is none of our business, let's consider it a German internal matter, the only problem is that it also affects Europe, where - let's be honest - the empire of darkness is getting bigger and bigger. That is why I would recommend to the attention of German citizens Mark Twain's idea that:
"Diapers and politicians need to be changed regularly. For the same reason.”
