The CDU/CSU union requested a delay in voting on the appointment of judge Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf due to plagiarism suspicions, triggering outrage from coalition partner SPD and the Greens. The conservative bloc expressed skepticism about Brosius-Gersdorf’s liberal views, particularly concerning abortion and vaccinations. This action led to wider calls for postponing all judges' votes. The Green party criticized the move as undermining the court's integrity, highlighting the poor treatment of nominations and the need for a two-thirds majority for appointments.
"That a nominee can be openly defamed and dragged through the mud like this is shameful," said Green party head Britta Hasselmann. "It's about the integrity of our highest court."
