For the first time after the failed judge election in the Bundestag, the SPD candidate Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf spoke up. It raises severe allegations against media and politics.
Now Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf is going on the offensive. And how. In a detailed statement that a Bonn law firm spread on Tuesday morning, she has sharp criticism of media, but also of political decision -makers.
The constitutional lawyer describes the reporting “in parts of the media” as “incorrect and incomplete, uncomfortable and non -transparent”. Your classification as “ultralinks” or “left -wing radical” is “defamatory and unrealistic”. The criticism had the goal of preventing their choice.
The Potsdam legal professor also has criticism of “individual state officials”: “In times when politicians ask for more stronger protection against verbal attacks and discuss a ‘digital masking ban’, strange anonymous statements from the ranks of politically responsible officials of the state.” Both contradict each other.
Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf denied allegations
The election of two constitutional judges planned last Friday in the Bundestag had failed due to internal resistance to the SPD candidate Brosius-Gersdorf. It was mainly referred to the fact that the lawyer puts the protection of unborn life into perspective. Right media had also massively rumbled these accusations.
Brosius-Gersdorf clearly contradicted the allegation in her explanation: It was only about “the constitutional dilemma”, unborn life from nidation-i.e. from nesting the fertilized egg cell in the uterine mucosa-to be recognized the manehnic net “and man after birth”. As a scientist, she “wanted to point out this problem and inconsistencies in existing law” and “want to show solutions for a contradictory regulation of the abortion”.
No abortion up to the ninth month
However, it expressly does not represent the position that the unborn life is defenseless, the constitutional lawyer said. “From Nidation, he has the fundamental right to life, for which I have always entered.” The accusation that she would want to legitimize pregnancy until birth is wrong and is not a basis.
In her letter, Brosius-Gersdorf did not comment on the politically decisive question of whether she wants to maintain her candidacy in her letter. The SPD parliamentary group had declared that they wanted to stick to the nomination. This remains unclear how the necessary two-thirds majority in the Bundestag should be achieved.
