The choice of judges: within the federal constitutional court, as a rule, is not a appointment that gives reason. The topic that concerns justice and the electoral committee of the judge. Half of 16 judges: the other half was elected in the Bundestag, the other half in the Federal Council. Most biparts are required.
The fact that on Friday everything will work in the other way, you suspect to an important session. Before the Reichstag Life Protectors, they demonstrate: inside, keep the fruits high in the womb. Instead of “business, as usual,” a cultural struggle is declared.
Because against one of the three candidates: inside, Professor of the legislation of Potsdam Frack Brozus-Hersdorf, right nets and life defenders: there are good two weeks inside. The lawyer was a member of the expert: an internal commission to legalize abortion. She thinks that it is partially necessary. Like 80 percent of the population.
When the SPD of the Union of Brozius-Hersdorf and the second candidate, Ann-Katrin Kaufhold, was offered two and a half months ago, the trade union agreed. For his part, the trade union appointed his own candidate Gunther Spinner. All three should be chosen together. So this was discussed with SPD.
Cultural struggle, accusations of plagiarism, threats of death
But then the campaign begins. Social networks states that Brozius-Hersdorf wants to calculate the children in the uterus, she receives threats to murder. On Friday morning, accusations of plagiarism also appear. Accordingly, Brozius-Hersdorf recorded in the distractions of her doctor in her doctoral dissertation. The accusations seem to be built because her doctoral dissertation appeared a year before the neutralization of her husband. Applications about plagiarism were recalled after a few hours.
Instead of “business, as usual,” a cultural struggle is declared.
But: The campaign works. More and more deputies of the Union report problems and speech with the leader of the parliamentary group by Jens Span. He advertises the proposal of the coalition, but is not able to hold his own faction together. Despite the fact that the election committee from the election committee of 32 people, 32, offered a candidate on Monday with a majority of two-thirds: inside, although Mertz personally stood behind the Brozius-Hersdorf on Wednesday.
On Friday morning, the trade union will meet at 8 a.m. for a special meeting. Merz and Spahn make a decision: you want to offer SPD to choose only two judges: choose inside and postpone the choice of Brosius-Gersdorf. The leader of the SPD parliamentary group Matias Mirsh and the party leader Lars Klingbeil are informed. The Bundestag session is interrupted shortly after, SPD is outraged. On her part, she meets at 10.30 in the morning. The decision is made quickly and unanimously: the elections of all three candidates: the agenda stops, only in this way the accident accident can be prevented in the last minute.
Lack of leadership of span and mercenary
In SPD you are angry. He sees the leadership failure of Span and Mercke. “At present, we are observing how a highly qualified candidate with impeccable career and wide professional recognition is becoming a victim of a dirty campaign, which is unreasonable,” explains the first managing director of the Dirk Visa parliament. “Today the problem is that the management of the trade union could not provide the necessary majority in their own ranks.”
The leader of the Green Group Britt Khashlimann becomes more fundamental: “This day is an absolute catastrophe for parliament, for democracy and the federal constitutional court,” she says in the Bundestag. She sees Frederick Merets as a responsibility for this, but, above all, the chairman of the Span Facture Trade Union. He failed to organize the majority for candidates for common judges in his faction. Here is how the leader of the left, Heidi Reichinnek, sees this: “The dismissal of the elections is an absolute certificate of poverty for you, Mr. Span.”
Disappointment sits deep
The parliamentary director of the trade union Steffen Bilger takes on the sovereignty of interpretation instead of a span, which otherwise does not miss the microphone. “We would be ready to choose two other candidates.” However, on this day it was no longer possible, therefore the union also applied for the abolition of the element of the agenda. This is an attempt to restore control a bit and push SPD partial debt.
But disappointment sits deeply. It will be recorded on Brosius-Gersdorf, according to Friday. When and whether it is chosen, it is unclear. Perhaps after the summer holidays, maybe never.
