Federal Government: Left Party takes Minister Reiche to court
The Left accuses the minister of having expressed herself "one-sidedly and party-politically" in an Instagram video after the Berlin election. Now the party is taking the matter to the Constitutional Court.
The Left Party is taking German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Katherina Reiche to the Federal Constitutional Court. The party claims Reiche, a CDU member, breached the neutrality required of state bodies by posting an Instagram video criticizing the Left Party's policies after its election win in Berlin. In the video, Reiche expressed concerns about the party's plans for expropriation and alleged antisemitism.
The Left Party had previously asked Reiche to remove the video by September 29, but it remained online, prompting the party to seek action from the court.
