Judge election
CDU MP at Lanz: “I would not have chosen Brosius-Gersdorf”
Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf starts to flee to the front after the deposed judge election. CDU MP Christoph Ploß remains skeptical at “Markus Lanz”.
On Tuesday, Markus Lanz was a guest in his talk show Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf. The controversial lawyer tried to clean up some allegations against her, which had previously prevented her election as the Federal Constitutional judge (Read more about the performance here).
At least Christoph Ploß did not convince her explanations. The CDU MP was sitting on the ZDF program on Wednesday and declared Brosius-Gersdorf’s appearance: “What is for the Union of the core, namely to put the dignity of humans forward, has not been answered completely satisfactorily.” Brosius-Gersdorf was mainly criticized for her positions on the abortion.
Ploß to Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf: “I wouldn’t have chosen her either”
That “touched a core of the Union,” said Ploß. The CDU man made it clear that he, too, was not a supporter of her election as a constitutional judge: “I would not have chosen her either,” he said. Brosius-Gersdorf’s allegation that there was a “campaign” against her, he rejected. “The MPs have formed an independent opinion,” said Ploß.
The Union’s top staff continues to become rare after the debacle in the Bundestag. The Hamburg CDU politician was the only one of the 24 MPs of the Union who promised for the program, Lanz revealed: “Everyone else already had appointments.”
Britta Haßelmann criticizes Jens Spahn
Green Group leader Britta Haßelmann, on the other hand, took the opportunity to shoot Jens Spahn once again. She sees a “blatant leadership failure” at the Union’s group leader. Despite prior promise, Spahn had not succeeded in organizing the necessary votes in his faction for a choice of Brosius-Gersdorf.
Spahn prepared the choice “amateurish”, said Haßelmann, and generally became: “I have no more interest in explaining this world to men. And this kind of how Ms. Brosius-Gersdorf was tackled-this is not how one can deal with women in this republic.”
The allegations of plagiarism that the Union had brought into the field to stop the election were not confirmed by an expert opinion. These theses “collapsed like a house of cards,” said Haßelmann. The Union accused her of “falling” on “the patterns of the AfD”. Ploß admitted: “The process was not good and it is important to work up.” However, it is open how things go with the election of the federal constitutional judges.
