The elections of three constitutional judges: he at the moment could not at the moment in the Bundestag. Bundestag refused all three elections this Friday to prevent a full disaster. The elections of the judge will now be compiled after a summer break.
Usually the elections of a constitutional judge go smoothly and silently. Half of 16 judges: the other half was elected in the Bundestag, the other half in the Federal Council. Two -third requirements are required. This is guaranteed that the parties that are required for the majority of two -thirds receive the rights of the proposal. Finally, Formula 3: 3: 1: 1. This means that three constitutional judges can offer CDU/CSU and SPD: inside the Senate, Green and FDP, they are entitled to proposal.
So the report 3: 3: 3: 1: 1 was preserved, the right to proposal was once with CDU/CSU and twice in SPD for posts of three judges. The union proposed Gunter Spinner, a chairing judge in the federal employment court. SPD appointed legal professors Frazkeus-Hersdorf and Ann-Katrin Kaufhold.
It has long been indicated that the upcoming constitutional judges will be difficult. Because after the FDP left the Bundestag, CDU/CSU, SPD and greens do not have a majority of two -thirds in the Bundestag. There are no seven votes that should come on the left or AFD.
Abortion of opponents of abortion: inside
The left were ready to choose spinners, provided that CDU/CSU is looking for a conversation with him. Nevertheless, CDU/CSU refused to talk with his decision on incompatibility. AFD used this to announce that he would choose spinners.
This was provided by the spinner, and the only question was whether the majority of two -thirds without AFD can be obtained. CDU/CSU hoped to achieve this with the help of a particularly disciplined presence of the state camp. Some left, such as Bodo Ramelou, wanted to choose spinners without consideration.
There was no more. Because during the week this conflict was increasingly superimposed in the Union -an inclined fire fighting stove. A long after the CDU/CSU agreed to choose the proposals of SPD Brosius-Gersdorf and Kaufhold, there was resistance in the faction, especially against Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf. A professor of legal conclusion, which was previously considered known and scientifically outstanding, was suddenly offended as “ultraliks” and as an “activist”.
The focus of the claims was the position of Brozius-Hersdorf on the right to abortion, which she also represented in 2024 in the Committee on the reform of the federal government. He considers possible decriminalization of abortion. Since the Federal Constitutional Court decided this in the 1970s and 1990s, riots in the Union are partially clear. CDU/CSU is also subjected to great pressure from opponents of abortion: inside which there was no majority in the population for a long time, and now they saw their last bastion, the Federal Constitutional Court.
The statements of plagiarism were built by Vicen
Some diivators in the trade union would not endanger the majority of two-thirds for Brozius-Hersdorf, as the left also wanted to vote for them. However, when on Friday on Friday they suddenly wanted to deviate from the parliamentary group from 50 to 60, it became tough, and there was a risk of scandal, as well as for the leader of the parliamentary group, Jens Span and Chancellor Friedrich Merets.
In an obvious need, the CDU/CSU parliamentary administration accused of a controversial hunt for plagiarism Stefan Weber on Friday morning, which he published only the night before. After that, Brozius-Hersdorf recorded in the doctoral dissertation at 23 positions in the neutralization of her husband Hubertus Gersdorf. The statements have a constructed effect because the doctoral dissertation of Brozius-Hersdorf was published a year before the neutralization of her husband.
Therefore, the SPD and greens rejected the CDU/CSU proposal to dismantle the selection of Brozius-Hersdorf and choose only Spinner and Kaufhold. Finally, it was agreed to stop all three judge’s choice. The left also agreed. Only AFD wanted to immediately choose to show that CDU/CSU supports a “left-green” policy, as the deputy of the AFD Bernd Baumann said.
Critics of Brozius-Hersdorf have already achieved success in advance. Unlike the planned, it should no longer become the vice president and president of the Federal Constitutional Court since 2030. CDU/CSU and SPD agreed to this within a week. Another candidate for SPD Ann-Katrin Kaufhold will then accept these functions.
Even if the elections are currently postponed, the Federal Constitutional Court is still capable of working. The judges, whose term of office had arrived, temporarily remained at his post.
