The Bundestag postponed a vote on appointing three new Federal Constitutional Court judges after a request from the CDU/CSU bloc. They aimed to delay the vote for candidate Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, citing plagiarism concerns. This action sparked outrage from the junior coalition partner, the Social Democrats, who condemned the decision. The conservatives expressed skepticism over Brosius-Gersdorf's liberal views on abortion and mandatory vaccinations. The Greens also criticized the postponement, asserting it disrespected the integrity of the court and called for the entire vote to be delayed.
"The conservative CDU/CSU bloc has pushed for postponing the vote on one of the judges, citing plagiarism suspicions."
"The conservative bloc, made up of the CDU and the allied Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU), requested postponing the vote on the appointment of Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf following plagiarism allegations."
"The Union's move to postpone the vote triggered outrage from the Greens and the SPD, who said it undermined the court's legitimacy."
"Green party heads Britta Hasselmann and Katharina Droge said it is unacceptable and disrespectful that the vote for Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf alone will be postponed."
