Leading politicians from the CDU and CSU suggest Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf to withdraw the candidacy for the constitutional court. But even most of the Union voters reject that.
Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) put it this way: “Ms. Brosius-Gersdorf is sure to think about how she deals with this situation.” Similar to the Federal Minister of the Interior, other politicians from the legal scientist – more or less directly – also suggested a waiver of their candidacy for the Federal Constitutional Court.
Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf enjoys high respect
57 percent of Germans reject a voluntary withdrawal of the judge candidate, such as a Forsa survey for the star resulted. Only 24 percent believe that the legal professor should do without. 19 percent do not comment.
Surprisingly, the vote of the votes of the CDU and CSU votes: Of them, too, only 23 percent of the candidate waived, even 59 percent reject this. A similar picture among the supporters of the other parties: the voters of SPD (82 percent), Greens (84 percent) and left (74 percent) are majority against a withdrawal from Brosius-Gersdorf. The situation is different with the AfD supporters: 55 percent here are for renunciation and only 28 percent against it.

In public, it was also controversial whether the gender issue played a role in the dispute. The Green Group leader Britta Hasselmann had said, for example, in the talk show “Markus Lanz”: “Which woman should still explain today to be proposed in management functions? So you can’t handle women in this republic!” The support of women to maintain Brosius-Gersdorf’s candidacy is particularly high at 60 percent. But a clear majority of men (54 percent) also rejects the judge’s candidate.
The data was made by the market and opinion research institute Forsa for the star and RTL Germany raised by phone on July 17th and 18th. Database: 1000 respondents. Statistical fault tolerance: +/- 3 percentage points. This means that the survey is representative.
