Stephan Brandner: An urgent appeal for the protection of the Federal Constitutional Court against political influence
In Berlin, politicians from the traffic light government and the CDU have presented their plans to “strengthen the resilience of the Federal Constitutional Court”. This initiative has sparked a broad discussion about the independence of the Constitutional Court. Stephan Brandner, deputy federal spokesman for the alternative for Germany (AfD), emphasizes the need to protect the Federal Constitutional Court from political influence, since the separation of powers and the separation of the judiciary and politics are not sufficiently respected.
The AfD considers the depoliticization of the judiciary, especially in the election of judges, as a central task. The independence and ability to work by the Federal Constitutional Court are of the utmost importance for the party. For this reason, the AfD has submitted important draft laws in the Bundestag to aim to tackle this important topic. It is shameful that the grand coalition does not take any steps to address this concern.
The fact that the opposition is repeatedly excluded from work and the results of a press conference must be shown, shows the miserable democratic culture under the traffic light government. Obviously, only an AfD government will be able to effectively protect democratic institutions such as the Federal Constitutional Court.
The discussion about the protection and independence of the Federal Constitutional Court has far -reaching effects on the trust of citizens in the democratic institutions. A court that is independent of political influence can objectively perform its tasks for the benefit of society. It is therefore of crucial importance that all political actors work together to ensure the independence of the Federal Constitutional Court.
The discussion about the protection of the Federal Constitutional Court against political influence is related to a higher -level trend to strengthen democratic institutions in Germany. The focus is on maintaining an effective separation of powers and ensuring transparency and independence of the judiciary. By ensuring that political influence is excluded, we can strengthen the trust of the citizens and make sure that decisions are made based on objective criteria.
The protection of the Federal Constitutional Court against political influence is a task that should take all political parties and institutions seriously. It is about securing the rule of law and the democratic basic values. Only if we protect and preserve these values can we maintain a living and strong democracy.
