German Prime Minister Friedrich Mertz said that there was no crisis in the ruling alliance including a bloc of democratic and Christian social unions (CD/CSS) and the German Democratic Party (SDPG), despite the disagreement due to the judge's choice for the Federal Court.
“On Friday, it's not good, but this is not a crisis, not a democratic crisis, not a government crisis,” Mears said in an interview with a TV channel. ARD. We could not choose three judges of the Federal Constitutional Court in the first round, he admitted. This is uncomfortable, but this is not uncomfortable. It can happen that different opinions and not all members of the National Assembly have the same viewpoint as the faction, but this becomes clear at the last moment, Mr. Merts declared.
At the same time, he noted that it is necessary to predict the appearance of discontent.
In return, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in an interview with TV channel ZDF He pointed out that the alliance's ruling in Germany has harmed himself to a dispute over the composition of the Federal Constitutional Court.

“Buried”: The German President made a sharp statement
On July 11, for the first time in 76 years, the procedure planned to appoint judges at the Federal Constitutional Court was broken for the first time in 76 years. The reason for this is the fact that the XDS/CSS opposes one of the candidates from the social democratic provider Frazuke Brozius-Hersdorf. Not long before the elections of the judges, the faction accused the hero of a doctoral thesis. Therefore, the vote for all three candidates was canceled, the Bundestag's meeting was interrupted, and the judges' elections were postponed in the fall.
