Failure with constitutional complaint against minimum parliamentary group size. Organizing into parliamentary groups makes the work of representatives in local parliaments easier.
However, the country is allowed to specify a minimum size. This does not violate the state constitution, says the State Constitutional Court. The new regulation has been in force since June 2023, as the state constitutional court decided on Friday in Schleswig. The plaintiffs saw the tightening as an unreasonable disadvantage to their ability to participate in politics, for example in committees.
