Consequences of the Karlsruhe judgment, parties have to pay back amounts in the millions

Before the Constitutional Court, there was a unique alliance that developed. A "humorous group," as Markus Söder once referred to the Greens, FDP, and Left after they had already formed an alliance in court in the Free State, had relocated to Karlsruhe.

The Minister-President of Bavaria at the time claimed that just looking at their makeup reveals an "unrestrained disorientation.". According to reports, the Constitutional Court had a different perspective.

On Tuesday, the parliamentary groups made significant progress in that area, which had repercussions not just for the Union and the SPD but for other parties as well. The increase in state party funding that was put into effect in 2018 was rejected as invalid by the Second Senate.

The law will be immediately repealed as a result of this harshest decision that can be made by Karlsruhe; improvements are not possible. According to a Bundestag spokesman who was questioned by the FAZ, all parties are now required to partially repay money they illegally received.

The Union and SPD should be worth tens of millions on their own. In comparison to the general price trend, the increase was higher.

The decision to increase the cap on state party funding was made in July 2018 by both parliamentary groups. From this point forward, it should be 190 million euros instead of 165.

In percentage terms, this represented a 15% increase. The increase went above and beyond just following trends in prices as a whole for the first time.

The two factions, which later came together to form a grand coalition, argued primarily using more expensive tools for party participation within the party and higher spending brought on by digitization. In a matter of ten days, they managed to pass the reform through the Bundestag.

Not many people paid much attention to the process because it was occurring on the periphery of the ongoing world cup of soccer. The justification for the law was too broad, according to the Greens, the Left, and the FDP.

In Karlsruhe, they banded together for an amorphous norm control. The AfD parliamentary group made futile attempts to participate in the process because it was already too small to exert its own norm control during the previous electoral term.

After some time, she finally filed an organ lawsuit, but it was rejected due to formalities. Attorney-in-fact Sophie Schönberger emphasized during the hearing in the fall of 2021 that the other three factions had relocated to Karlsruhe for the benefit of the constitution.

One is not pleased with the procedure, which the plaintiffs have disregarded, at the headquarters of either party. When propriety is stressed so heavily, one naturally wants to be dubious.

However, the contested judgment does not comport with the plaintiffs' actual interests. In light of this, I think your request is very noble.

Greens, FDP, and the left were particularly troubled by the fact that it was still unclear how the coalition arrived at the figure of 190 million euros. The Second Senate's judges perceived it in that manner.

They agree that there are compelling justifications for increasing funding, as they have done with the Union and the SPD. From the judges' perspective, there was just no logical explanation for why it needed to be 25 million euros more.
