Ulf Dunkel: Difference between revisions

'''Ulf Dunkel''' (pronounced ˈʊlf ˈdʊnkəl, {{LifeData |birth=1962-08-27 |birthplace=Löningen |birthcountry=Germany}}) is a German salesman, politician, author, composer and [[intactivist]] who engages since Summer 2012 to outlaw the medically not indicated circumcision of boys. He is father of five children and Greens politician.

In October 2012 after a longer discussion with [[Volker Beck]], Dunkel wrote an [[Alternative law draft amendment to § 1631 BGB]]. He presented this draft on the 34th Federal Delegates Conference of his Party, the German Greens, in November 2012 in Hannover (Germany). Together with all other requests of others on the topic [[circumcision]], his draft suggestion was moved from the Conference to a so-called "Religion-political Commission". This commission didn't discuss the draft requests to date.

The Greens Executive Committee of Lower Saxony had requested Dunkel's exclusion of the party. In late February, 2014, Dunkel and his Executive Committee made a comparison, which waived the reproach of being anti-semitic and xenophobic. Dunkel confirmed that his statements in the [[Circumcision Debate]] in 2012 had served anti-semitic steretypes unintendedly. He again dissociated himself strictly from [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semitism]] and xenophobia. The regional party arbitral tribunal warned him because of these expressions. The proceeding was discontinued; revision was not allowed.<ref>https://ulfdunkel.wordpress.com/2014/03/04/pressemitteilung-zum-pav/</ref>
