Stefan Homburg wrote to NeBoehme that the AfD is similarly ethnic as the Basic Law, in which the word "people" allegedly occurs 38 times. It is strange or "Orwellian" to derive an unconstitutionality from that. #AfD #Grundgesetz #Politik (translated)

The Federal Constitutional Court is examining the exemption rules for corporate heirs to determine whether they are compatible with the Basic Law and indeed secure jobs and investments. #Erbschaftsteuer #Unternehmen #Vermögen (translated)
The Federal Constitutional Court is examining the unequal treatment in inheritance tax, particularly the generous exemptions for businesses compared to private assets, to determine whether this is compatible with the equality clause of the Basic Law. #Erbschaftsteuer #Gerechtigkeit #Bundesverfassungsgericht (translated)
GFrei.News reported that Sven Schulze leaves the room in fear as soon as Ulrich Siegmund enters, and speculates that CDU representatives also left the room during the election of the Minister President. This could prevent a CDU representative from voting according to their conscience, as required by the Basic Law, according to the article. The tactic could work in the first two ballots, provided that the BSW does not vote for Siegmund, GFrei.News explained. A majority of all members of the state parliament is needed for this. In the third round of voting, however, only a majority of those present is required, which is why the AfD would then surely win – unless the CDU is back in the room and Schulze has control over his representatives. GFrei.News claimed that Schulze and his ministers could remain in office throughout the entire legislative period if the CDU successfully stays absent, since the AfD would need a two-thirds majority for a new election. Schulze is apparently trying to continue governing for five years without an election in this way, the account wrote. https://t.co/VLjBRwCQuR #Ministerpräsidentenwahl #Demokratie #CDU (translated)
Marcel Luthe from Good Governance asked Sepp Müller why he believed he could speak for representatives who freely decided according to the Basic Law and state constitution whether and whom they voted for. #Wahlrecht #Demokratie #Grundgesetz (translated)
Peter Borbe criticized that Lauterbach referred to the AfD as a party that does not stand on the basis of the Basic Law and wants to overcome democracy during "hart aber fair." Borbe asked why Lauterbach was allowed to make such claims and wrote that the assessment of who stands on the basis of the Basic Law is not the responsibility of an SPD member of Parliament, but of the Constitutional Court. #AfD #Demokratie #Grundgesetz (translated)
ULTRAKÆRL wrote that Karl Lauterbach had expressed his own position on "hart aber fair." Equating the Left Party with the AfD is nonsense. The Left Party has been infiltrated by anti-Semites, particularly in Berlin, and is therefore problematic; however, the AfD does not stand on the ground of the Basic Law. https://t.co/1zF1p0oEud #Politik #Deutschland #Wahlen (translated)
Steffan Nethe criticized the proposal of the CDU parliamentary leadership in Saxony-Anhalt to leave the room together before the secret election of the Minister President. He wrote that the leadership wanted to prevent members from their own ranks from voting for the candidate of the strongest party. Nethe described the proposal as a sign of panic and accused the members of avoiding a parliamentary vote. In his view, this behavior contradicts democracy and the free mandate according to the Basic Law. He also stated that it further undermines trust in the CDU and is a "bankruptcy declaration for the rule of law." At the same time, he pointed out that the AfD is becoming stronger, in his estimation, with each election. #SachsenAnhalt #Demokratie #CDU (translated)
The user referred to an essay by Nils Minkmar as fundamental and important. It argues that the republic and its constitution need active advocates who defend against attacks, keep opponents at a distance, and open future perspectives. https://t.co/JL3H5bw1ae #Grundgesetz #Demokratie #Zukunft #DE (translated)
The spokesperson for the firewall victims wrote to Apollo News DE that the Bavarian Constitutional Court has deprived itself of the opportunity to maintain the impression of defending the Basic Law. #Verfassungsrecht #Grundgesetz #Bayern (translated)
Björn Höcke wrote that order must be actively created, while chaos arises on its own. He believes this experience can be transferred from the garden to human communities. The fathers and mothers of the Basic Law intended to establish order and not to promote boundlessness, he explained. In a time when Western culture has become irrational about itself, this must be emphasized repeatedly. Höcke thanked Frank Böckelmann, who made it clear in the current issue of TUMULT that a constitution is not an end in itself. #Ordnung #Gesellschaft #Verfassung (translated)
The author wrote that people with anti-Semitic attitudes, in his opinion, not only violated Article 1 of the Basic Law but also against Germany's historical legitimacy as a state. #Antisemitismus #Deutschland #Grundgesetz #DE (translated)
GFrei.News reported that Tobias Rausch's open letter addressed an important detail of the BMW affair: If BMW withdrew the leasing offer for the position on the day of Rausch's election as President of the State Parliament, this was a message both to the AfD and to the public. GFrei.News regarded this as political discrimination in the sense of the Basic Law and referred to Article 3, Paragraph 3, Sentence 1, as well as Article 33, Paragraphs 2 and 3. The author noted that these constitutional provisions only obligated legislation, executive power, and jurisdiction, as they represent the people's defensive rights against the state. Nevertheless, behavior in accordance with the Basic Law is a benchmark for moral and civic conduct. Measured against this, BMW, in the view of GFrei.News, behaves not only unconstitutionally but also disgracefully. #BMWAffäre #Grundgesetz #PolitischeDiskriminierung (translated)
The post announced a conversation between Dirk Sattelmaier and the constitutional lawyer Prof. Dr. Rupert Scholz. The discussion was to focus on the question of whether a party could be banned due to clear positions on issues such as NATO, the EU, and migration, and whether the Basic Law was increasingly restricting freedom of expression. #Meinungsfreiheit #Grundgesetz #Politik #DE (translated)
Michael Klonovsky wrote that Article 146 of the Basic Law states that it loses its validity if the German people adopt a new constitution by free decision. According to his description, such a constitution could also be based on Sharia; if it is adopted in this way, it would be in accordance with the Basic Law. #Grundgesetz #Verfassung #Scharia (translated)
The account compared the positive feedback that anti-AfD demonstrators received for reading from the Basic Law with the treatment of demonstrators who would have read from the Basic Law during protests against what he referred to as "Corona terror" and who were brutally arrested. Politics in Germany has become a repulsive farce, he wrote. https://t.co/GoO9O3j37D #Grundgesetz #Demonstration #Politik (translated)
Liberty Hannes wrote that the news program appeared in Magdeburg when people read from the Basic Law to demonstrate against the opposition. However, when he and others read from the Basic Law, police acted with body checks and handcuffs, he claimed. He referred to this as the situation. https://t.co/ADkeVS0Vgz #Grundgesetz #Magdeburg #Demonstration (translated)
NIUS wrote that the SPD staged a "Germany drama" with the Basic Law after the election of an AfD state parliamentary president at Bebelplatz. Comparisons to the Nazi regime were also made in the process. https://t.co/H2Wej7S4LL https://t.co/XR6ar8rgR2 #Grundgesetz #Bebelplatz #AfD (translated)
Evi Denz said that she respects people who defend the Constitution when it is under attack. However, she has no respect for those who, in her view, do this out of "gratuitous bravery" because they cannot bear democracy and the loss of their power. https://t.co/D4m32w4Z8T #Demokratie #Grundgesetz #Respekt (translated)
