Constitutional Dispute in Thuringia's Parliament
The CDU has called on the Thuringian Constitutional Court to intervene in the election of the State Parliament President. This move follows a tumultuous session where AfD's Jürgen Treutler, the senior president, refused to consider proposals from CDU and other factions to amend the parliamentary rules.
The proposed changes aim to allow candidates from all factions to be nominated from the first round of voting, preventing the AfD from dominating the election process. The CDU accuses Treutler of ignoring the constitution and parliamentary rules, and seeks an injunction to mandate proper conduct.
The court has given Treutler until Friday to respond, with a decision expected soon. The parliamentary session, disrupted by the conflict, is set to resume on Saturday.
