The Hessian justice ministry, led by the Union, has ordered a review into whether judges and prosecutors who signed a call to initiate a ban procedure against the AfD could face employment law measures. The move concerns signatories of a public appeal and has sparked debate about judicial independence, as critics argue that punishing judges for political speech threatens constitutional principles, while supporters say civil servants must remain impartial.
Why now: The ministry's threat of disciplinary action against judges over the AfD ban appeal touches on debates about judicial independence and political neutrality in Germany.
