Federal Constitutional Court: New protection against extremist forces!

Federal Constitutional Court: New protection against extremist forces!

In a crucial moment for German politics, Bremen's Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte (SPD) warned of the dramatic consequences of the upcoming Bundestag election. He sees the choice as trend -setting for the future of the welfare state. If the CDU gains the upper hand, he predicts a devastating turn: "The welfare state, as we know it, will no longer exist with us," said Bovenschult, while criticizing that the Union's election program was radical and not financed. These statements come from an interview with the German Press Agency and show that the SPD is determined to set the economic stability and the creation of jobs as a priority. In addition, Bovenschulte emphasized that the "Strengthening Economy" operation should not be "grinded" for the operation, and he remains optimistic that Olaf Scholz is supported by a majority at the end of the election campaign.

Federal Council strengthens the constitutional court

In another significant political step, the Federal Council has adopted the amendment to the Basic Law to protect the Federal Constitutional Court against extremist threats. The reform was approved with the necessary two -thirds majority, with Brandenburg the only federal state. This new regulation previously followed the approval of the Bundestag and aims to anchor essential structures of the constitutional court in the constitution. In the future, two senates with eight judges each will be planned, and the term of office of the judges will be limited to twelve years to strengthen the independence of the court, as Bovenschulte emphasized.

Another crucial point of this reform is that structural changes to the Constitutional Court are only possible with a two -thirds majority, which is a direct antidote against the risks of influence through extremist ideas. The replacement selection mechanism that the reform introduces is also intended to ensure that in the event of a blockade between the Bundestag and the Federal Council, a solution that is capable of acting is found. "We here in Germany are building up our highest court weatherproof," explained Bovenschulte and underlined the relevance of this new regulation in the context of international judicial crises, especially in states such as Poland and Hungary.

Progress and the challenges in German politics are about to be a decisive turning point. The impending election and reform of the constitutional court could have a lasting impact on the political landscape of the country, as already shows the discussion about the social and legal foundations.
