Bundestag Votes on December 19, 2024, to Amend Constitution for Federal Constitutional Court Protection, Backed by SPD, Greens, FDP, CDU, CSU
Dec 19, 2024, 10:45 AM
On December 19, 2024, the German Bundestag voted to amend the constitution to enhance the protection of the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) against potential political interference. This reform, supported by the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens, the Free Democratic Party (FDP), and the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU), aims to prevent 'constitutional enemies' from manipulating the judiciary. The proposed changes include establishing constitutional provisions regarding the number of judges and the duration of their terms, which were articulated by Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser. The amendment is seen as a response to rising concerns about anti-democratic forces gaining influence, particularly in light of lessons learned from Poland regarding judicial independence. The Bundestag's decision reflects a collaborative effort among various political factions to safeguard the judiciary's integrity during politically turbulent times.
