Defend Basic Law: Union threatens Berlin and Saxony-Anhalt with constitutional complaints
If new governments were to be formed in Berlin and Magdeburg under the leadership of the Left party and the AfD, the Union does not want to stand idly by. If necessary, it could take action all the way to Karlsruhe.
Several CDU/CSU faction leaders in German states are threatening to take possible new state governments in Berlin and Saxony-Anhalt to the Federal Constitutional Court. They warn that if radical or extremist governments pass unconstitutional laws, they will use all available legal options to prevent this. The faction leaders from Lower Saxony, Bavaria, and Thuringia emphasize that protecting the constitutional order is a task for all states and that governing a state means being bound by the Basic Law and the principle of the rule of law.
They specifically mention concerns about potential new governments led by the Left Party in Berlin and the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt.
