Two months ago, the left-wing lawyers' association RAV called for a ban on the AfD in an open letter. It referred to the poor AI-generated report from the equally left-leaning "Society for Freedom Rights." Some signatories work in Hessian courts or public prosecutor's offices. In my opinion, signing the call for a party ban procedure violates the "political moderation obligation" and the "duty of neutrality" of judges and prosecutors. The CDU-led Ministry of Justice in Hesse has therefore directed courts and the public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt to examine, in the respective named cases, whether there is a specific reason to consider "necessary action in terms of civil service law." The ministry wants to protect against possible bias in court proceedings related to the AfD. The outcry from the left-wing judges' association NRV is considerable. 😨 We have submitted a small inquiry on this matter (@GrobeDrFrank). We want to know not only how many signatories of the call currently work in the Hessian judiciary and at which courts or public prosecutor's offices they are active. The state government should also clarify how it assesses "regarding moderation obligation, judicial independence, and possible bias" when Hessian judges or prosecutors become active in this way. I am curious about the answers and the further course! (translated)
