The AfD is the only party that does not chair any Bundestag committee. The parliamentary group sees itself treated unequally and filed a lawsuit in Karlsruhe. Now the Federal Constitutional Court has spoken.

The AfD failed before the Federal Constitutional Court with the application that its candidates take over the chair of several Bundestag committees, at least for the time being.

In a decision published on Thursday, the Second Senate rejected the party's urgent application.

A final decision on the complaint will only be made at a later point in time in the main proceedings.
