Conservative Chancellor Frederick Merz on Friday defended Constitutional Court candidate Frokeyus-Garsdorf against political rights against terrible criticism.
A controversy over enrollment deepened the discord within the merz coalition, the Center-left social democrats have accused the conservative figures of exploiting claims about the professor of law to vandalize their nomination for ideological reasons.
What is behind the dispute?
The nomination of Brasius-Garsdorf in Germany’s apex court was placed after a dispute over media depiction of claims about “ultra-leaf” views and allegations of unsafe literary theft.
Brasius-Garsdorf was proposed as a candidate by Junior Partner Center-Left Social Democrats in the government.
Merz’s orthodoxy, with his support unexpectedly, citing concerns about their ideas on abortion, and their support for mandatory vaccinations during the Kovid -19 epidemic. A fixed vote on his appointment in the Federal Constitutional Court was postponed.
However, Merz called the media scramas around the recent week’s “fully unacceptable” around the professor of law.
“The criticism expressed over time was uncontrolled, polite and personally derogatory and derogatory,” Merz said. He Hey warned a climate-partially on social media, where “large-scale personal defamation” is no longer off-lymph.
The discord between the two sides represents the first major crisis within the governing coalition of Germany, which came to power only in May.
What does the candidate say themselves?
Brasius-Garsdorf said in a letter that his character depicting “Ultra-Left” and “radical” is “silent and unreal”.
Hence the German media accused of “wrong and incomplete, uncontrolled and non-transparent” reporting.
Brasius-Garsdorf has stated that a regular claim claims that she supports abortion until birth, between other illustrations of her thoughts, both wrong and uneven.
“If you classify my academic positions in their political width, a picture of the Democratic Center emerges,” he argued.
In an interview with Broadcaster ZDF, Brasius-Garsdorf said she makes a wild return if she damages the reputation of the court.
“I don’t think anyone could imagine it in his worst dreams, such politicization of a constitutional court election,” he said.
“This is extremely dangerous, because this culture of debate, puts the foundation of our democracy in danger.”
what happens now?
Brasius-Garsdorf remains a candidate for the court and can be appointed even after the summer break of Bundestag.
Merz of Conservative Christian Democrats has refused to say whether the alliance will present a new candidate. Hey said that he believes in a good solution within the coalition. The Chancellor said, “I am confident that two parliamentary groups in Bundestag want to do good.”
At the same time, Merz admitted that the candidature should be better offered next time, and the proposals of personnel should be discussed first. However, he said, there was no time pressure and conversation with the alliance was going on.
The German Vice Chancellor of Social Democrats, Lars Klingable, has urged its conservative coalition partners “leadership and responsibility”.
However, Federal Minister Alexander Dobridate and Bavarian State Premier Leader Marcus Soder, both from Bavaria’s Orthodox Christian Social Association, both have called Brocerus-Garsdorf to withdraw their candidature.
The National Association of Local Gender Equality Officers of Germany warned against any such step, saying that it would “send wrong signs to the enemies of democracy.” The organization called a broad antifminist and pressure on the academic part of the remote campaign.
The Carlsuhe-based constitutional court ensures compliance with the constitution of the country, in which judges have been selected for 12 years of terms, with a age limit of 68 years. As one of the most powerful institutions in Germany, it has regularly challenged both German and European politics.
