Julia Klöckner in office as President of the Bundestag – how did Friedrich Merz say after her election? “Make something of it.” Well, what it makes of it is quite controversial. Because of party political neutrality and such. In one point, however, the Christian democrat is now undisputed: with her demand not to have the Federal Council decided on the new constitutional judges.
The green faction management, by the way, sees it that way. Which should be beneficial to the reputation of the CDU woman in the medium-term perspective. So, as Klöckner says at “Politico”? “A parliament needs to know what its meaning is. And if you give the most important responsibilities, it is not a strengthening of a parliament.”
Right, without a doubt. Especially since the people’s representative must be worried about their reputation anyway; In other words, the parliament must struggle for its importance. After everything that has changed after the election campaign. There is a lot of talk of voting deception.
Just no self -weakening
The what is now expected by the Bundestag – and by far not only from Klöckner – is absolutely absolutely important. If the parliament cannot decide, it has been new right for six months that the country chamber will then take over. Sovereign is different.
Basically, this decision is simple: the parliament wants to show itself to be willing and capable of decision, yes or no? Anything else would really be a political certificate of poverty and self -weakening. That would really be evil for politics as a whole. As if some were not happy to be able to attack the supposedly incompetent party democracy again. Under no circumstances should your judgment be the last word.
It is about a high asset: the constitution – and those that they should be guarding. Checking, improving or improving it from time to time is a state -supporting task.
The MPs, representatives of the sovereign, must not prove to be unsuspecting. Especially not those who want to rule the country together. And today’s coalitioners, but also yesterday’s parliamentary representatives, who were dealing with the preparation of the judge’s election, should have better considered. Bundestag President Julia Klöckner rightly reminded her of her responsibility.
