SPD warns: Reform of judicial reform endangers the proximity to the citizen in Schleswig-Holstein!

Kiel, Deutschland - Kiel (dpa/lno)-alarm mood in Schleswig-Holstein! The SPD parliamentary group leader from country and district days as well as the council meetings of the four independent cities raise the alarm: The planned judicial reform could massively endanger the functionality of jurisdiction! "This has nothing to do with the proximity to the citizen in a area," warns Serpil Midyatli, the parliamentary group leader, to the German press agency. The reform that would turn the life of 300 employees and their families upside down is an absolute no-go!

Prime Minister Daniel Günther must now act and stop the reform plans of Justice Minister Kerstin von der Keden (CDU)! "By email, the minister has informed about a reform that not only affects people, but also threatens them in their existence," said Midyatli. The SPD rejects the nationwide merging of social and labor courts and warns of rising costs for citizens. "The financial calculations are incomplete and incorrect," criticizes Midyatli and emphasizes that the reform could be expensive for citizens.

planned restructuring

The Minister of Justice plans to bundle the four social courts in Itzehoe, Kiel, Lübeck and Schleswig as well as the five labor courts in Elmshorn, Flensburg, Kiel, Lübeck and Neumünster. Following the model of administrative jurisdiction, only one labor and social court of first instance and a second instance should exist. There is also a debate to reduce the number of local courts drastically from 22 to only 15!

from the ceilings, the reform justifies the tense budget and assures that no personnel will be dismantled. "People now also have digital access to dishes," said the minister. But the SPD remains skeptical and demands a review of the plans to ensure that the judiciary remains accessible to all citizens. The future of jurisdiction in Schleswig-Holstein is on the brink!
