Usual reminder that politico is owned by Germanys largest right leaning yellow press publisher Axel Springer: https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/axel-springer-acquire-news-website-politico-2021-08-26/
So take everything with a grain of salt on there.
Thanks, wasn't aware of that.
Is there a Europe focus source that is more neutral?
BBC, Euronews and Deutsche Well are highly factual while having centre-left bias according to mediabiasfactcheck.com which is why I favor using them to post news to Lemmy.
In the same way, I assume, that universities and public institutions have a left-leaning bias.
Reality having liberal bias is implied ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Interesting, thanks
Why are people calling it liberalization?
Two reasons:
From what I'm reading there are plenty of caveats. It's much more than decriminalization but definitely can't be called legalization.
It sounds just like legalization here in the US
Legalization usually implies allowing some degree of commercialization, otherwise you end up with weird middle ground like Netherlands. What Germany is doing isn't even going as far as Netherlands do, at least for now since there are going to be pilot programs for small scale shops (on top of currently proposed clubs).
US is vastly different from state to state, ranging from cannabis being illegal, through medical use being allowed with varying degrees of ease of prescriptions, all up to full legalization including commercialization.
