Sachsen-Anhalt: Hubig und Frei verweisen im Fall von AfD-Landesregierung auf Bundeszwang
Justizministerin Hubig und Unionsfraktionschef Frei verweisen auf ein bisher nicht genutztes Mittel des Grundgesetzes – für den Fall, dass die AfD geltendes Recht missachten sollte.
Berlin - Federal Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig has referenced the potential for the federal government to enforce its authority against a Landesregierung in Sachsen-Anhalt if the AfD were to form one. This is known as the "Bundeszwang." Hubig expressed hope that such a situation would remain hypothetical, stating that it would involve the federal government instructing relevant Landesbehörden to apply existing laws, which would require the agreement of the Bundesrat.
Union leader Thorsten Frei noted that the Bundeszwang is an "Ultima Ratio," but emphasized that the state has the tools to protect democracy, the rule of law, and the freedom-democratic order if necessary. He affirmed that they would undoubtedly enforce the Grundgesetz and utilize all available instruments in such a situation.
