German Federal Constitutional Court Protection Bill Could Pass This Year
A cross-party agreement on protecting Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court could lead to a vote in the Bundestag by the end of 2024, despite ongoing governmental challenges. Key figures, including Marco Buschmann and Carmen Wegge, emphasize the importance of fortifying the court against potential threats, drawing lessons from Poland’s judicial independence issues. Proposed amendments include restructuring court organization and judicial terms to ensure resilience, with expectations for a parliamentary decision potentially before Christmas.
