Dr Kathrin Hamenstädt discusses recent German legislation regarding the authority of German Federal Constitutional Court
Only three days after the German Federal Parliament (Bundestag) passed a vote of no confidence in the Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz by a majority of 394 votes, the same Parliament approved by a vast majority of its members a bill that amends the German Constitution. On 19 December 2024, a cross-party bill on the amendment of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz), which aims at strengthening the resilience of the German Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht), received the necessary majority of votes in the Federal Parliament.
