Key FactsCoalition Faces Strain After Judge Appointment Dispute

President Steinmeier criticized the black-red coalition for damaging itself after postponing the constitutional judges' election.

The Union unexpectedly opposed SPD nominee Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf due to allegations of plagiarism and liberal abortion views.

Steinmeier emphasized the urgency of a decision to protect the authority and function of the Federal Constitutional Court.

The Bundestag’s next regular session is scheduled for September 10, by which time a solution should be reached.

I believe that if you take a look at the newspapers from the weekend, you will immediately learn that the coalition has certainly damaged itself.
— Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier stated this in the 'Summer Interview' on ZDF, regarding the postponed election of the constitutional judges.
