Press show on the judge’s election in the Bundestag: “Will it last four years?”

The preliminary failure of the judge’s election in the Bundestag, the black-red coalition plunged into its first tangible crisis just before the summer break. Due to massive resistance in the Union faction against the SPD candidate Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, the votes on a total of three suggestions for the Federal Constitutional Court were taken from the agenda at short notice.

Union faction leader Jens Spahn is now under pressure, who could not close the rows of the Union in time. Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) is also attacked by the SPD.

“T-Online”: “The matter had decayed so terribly because the reservations about a single candidate have mixed up more and more with questions of honor and decent dealing with each other. In the hairline, this rasta-like braid was created because the Union has imposed not to do anything together with the left and/or AfD. This nonsense has to stop. The biggest opposition faction is therefore not one of two-thirds such as a judge’s election for Karlsruhe.

“Handelsblatt”: “On Friday, the message should go into the world with the tax relief package, the ‘investment booster’ ensure a good mood in the country. But the headlines mastered the breakdown of the black and red coalition and the concern: Will it keep it for four years? After all, the really heavy chunks of the Merz government are still in the way: the reform of the debt brake, massive savings constraints in the coming year at the state elections. East may win the AfD, and not to forget the urgently needed reform of health and long-term care insurance.

“Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”: “The election of the federal constitutional judges by the parliament is a political decision and not a professional Olympics with objective measurement. (…) Every candidate, and the SPD has enough of that, must be conveyable for a majority. It is nothing new that ‘package solutions’ can fail. In the past, difficulties have generally been recognized and solved early. (…) It is hoped that certain basic values in a coalition in which the Union is the big partner will continue to be visible in the future. Pre -pushed platitudes are not enough. Weak crisis management is no damage to democracy. If you want to see a cultural struggle in this previously failed constitutional judge – it is a sign that democracy lives. “

“Augsburger Allgemeine”: “In the textbook for political crisis communication, the broken election of three constitutional judges will not enter – unless as a deterrent example. In a melange of self -overestimation (SPD) and a lack of tact (Union), the coalition parties have made the court for the game ball of party interests and it also disgusted.

“Stuttgarter Zeitung”: “The fact that the conflict has now been held on an open stage is the consequence of miserable political management at the head of the Union faction. This also applies to Jens Spahn’s risky tactics to risk majorities with right -wing extremists instead of looking for compromises with moderate leftists. has a man in his position.

“Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung”: “Could it have been worse? No. Even a non-election of the SPD candidate Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf could not have developed this force, which now massively damaged Union faction leader Jens Spahn. And Chancellor Merz. A parliamentary group leader who only signals approval and then confesses shortly before the end not to know the troop behind him closed. Jens Spahn’s authority is damaged. And that with a petitesse. How difficult is it only when reforms are on the agenda, fundamental decisions? (…) In the current alliance, the will to power only seems to be present with top staff. (…) The question arises whether every member of the government coalition is really aware of the narrow burr you act? Black and red has to deliver-not for your sake, but in a tedious struggle for a stable democracy. Because of course it was never. “
