Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, a jurist nominated by the SPD and supported by the CDU for a position on Germany's Federal Constitutional Court, has sparked controversy due to her political stances. She advocates for a ban on the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, supports a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy, and promotes gender-inclusive language in the German Basic Law. Her nomination is intended to replace Stephan Harbarth, a CDU-affiliated judge. Brosius-Gersdorf's views have drawn criticism from various quarters, including members of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group who question her suitability for the role and warn that her appointment could jeopardize the required two-thirds majority vote. Critics describe her as an ultraleft jurist lacking independence and express concerns about her perceived partisan activism, including her alleged support for late-term abortion rights and electoral gender quotas. The AfD has publicly condemned her nomination, framing it as a threat to the rule of law and accusing the SPD of seeking to use her appointment to facilitate an AfD ban. The debate reflects broader tensions over the politicization of the Federal Constitutional Court and its role in shaping German constitutional and political norms.
