Federal Arbitration Court declares digital Ju-election in Berlin invalid!

In a remarkable judgment, the Federal Arbitration Court of the Junge Union Berlin declared the digital election of the state board, which took place in July 2023. This decision could have far -reaching consequences for the political landscape of the organization, especially for the controversial chairman Harald Burkart, who can no longer assert as a state chief of the JU.

The court decided that the implementation of the state conference on July 11, 2023 was unlawful. All election decisions and votes that took place within this framework were declared invalid. This was announced in an official decision that was issued on September 23, 2024. According to the Report by www.rbb24.de this makes the legal disputes in relation to the Ju Berlin even more complicated.

reactions and legal disputes

The response from the Berlin CDU to this decision was relieved. The state managing director Dirk Reitze expressed that the party had always supported the legal positions. From the beginning, the CDU had not recognized the election of Burkart and the rest of the board member, which was supported by several district associations. These initially strained a legal dispute in front of the state party judge, which was made against them in October 2023.

Harald Burkart himself refused to recognize the judgment and questioned the judgment of the Federal Arbitration Court. He argued that the judges were "handpicked by the Federal Executive Board of the Young Union" and did not objectively decide. Burkart promised to present the matter to the CDU's federal party party view, which is scheduled for November 28, 2024. It remains to be seen how this court will react to the previous decision, but the Berlin CDU assumes that the negotiation has become obsolete.

A special turn in this matter could be that Burkart sees a possible new election of the JU in Berlin as inadmissible and wants to proceed against the state courts if the Federal Executive Board of the JU is not waiting.

The goal of the new elections

In the meantime, Burkart's political opponents are preparing for a new election in order to make the Berlin JU state board capable of action again. Lucas Schaal, a CDU member in the House of Representatives, revealed that one is ready to face new challenges and to leave the past controversy behind. It could also be an important chance for him because he wants to run for the chair before he exceeds the minimum age for the JU next spring.

The current judgment not only puts pressure on the internal structure of the Junge Union, but also shows the tensions within the CDU in Berlin. Observers of the political scene are excited to see how these developments will affect future cooperation and the objectives within the parties.

The final course of the legal disputes and the implementation of any new elections remain open for the time being. The coming months could be decisive to redesign the political landscape within the Junge Union and the CDU in Berlin.
