Our Constitutional Judges Is Open And Cool

From Dietmar Hipp, Freiburg
He is from the Federal Vice-President of the Constitutional Court will soon be elected and even Supreme Judge: The former Freiburg University Rector Voßkuhle adopted at a press conference on sensitive sovereignty issues - and gave a tiny glimpse into his private life.
Freiburg - As he because the current process of constitutional judicial selection is wanted a journalist from the newly elected constitutional judges Andreas Voßkuhle know: The procedure had been "largely successful," the answer, even if it is "at first glance somewhat opaque and irrational "effect - after it leads to good results, which are usually also the consensus of all stakeholders".
AP
Andreas Voßkuhle: If it shakes times between Karlsruhe and Berlin, is this normal What would he say? Finally, the procedure led to the Freiburg University Rector Voßkuhle in brief, the successor to the outgoing Constitutional Court Vice President Winfried Hassemer and when traditionsgemß in two years even as president of Germany's highest court will move up.
The main message of the Freiburg University convened press conference was also less than what the großgewachsene and despite his impressive stature somewhat lanky acting Constitutional Court president said in spe, but that and especially as he presented the press: sovereign, open, but mostly very diplomatically, with a few words and often more telling than others with many. No single issue which the nominee for Constitutional Court chief: Yes, he was "not opposed to tuition fees," said Voßkuhle, but should "tuition fees no social barriers build" yes, it is true that education policy is increasingly by the European Union will , So it was more important to focus on the European level to commit to "insist on our peculiarities." No, he was in no party, but that he is "close to the Social Democrats feel, from my basic position her", could have found his writings, yes, he can see a clear division between Berlin and Karlsruhe: that "times jerky" also "different views" were "a thing or two times in the series replaces" was "normal". Overall, the relationship between the policy and the federal constitutional court "a good and productive", and he could also in the process of European integration can not imagine that the Federal Constitutional Court "sustainable and lasting importance to lose".
particularly sensitive, however, it was for 1963 in Detmold Voßkuhle born, to the Office to declare that he now leaves. Because Voßkuhle is not only the youngest Senate chairman and president, which the Constitutional Court has ever had (although Ernst Benda in his office, 1971 just a few months older was). He is also the youngest Rector of the University of Freiburg in its 550-year history had - and with the shortest tenure: the beginning of April, his office, probably on 7 May is he president of the Federal his appointment certificate to the Constitutional Court. The obligation of the new office Accordingsounded disappointed some questions of the representatives of students side and the local press. Voßkuhle also reacted wisely and objectively, albeit somewhat cool: An such a situation if he had not thought than it Rektorenamt antrat, but the new task was "in a different level of responsibility" so that he was "obliged" to "the therewith.
also to the fact that the SPD originally Wuerzburg constitutional law teacher Horst Dreier chair for the head of the Constitutional Court had chosen, but primarily because of controversial positions on embryo research by the Union had been blocked, took Voßkuhle scarce and diplomatically: He personally "sorry that it has come to this situation," Mr. Dreier guess he was "very".
And he denied myself a thing even a smile when he was asked whether he was on embryo research was published: No, he did not.
Only onceVoßkuhle showed that he also has a humorous side: On the question of what knowledge and experience in criminal law he had - after one of the most important fields of his future Senate for the past Hassemer his predecessor was responsible. His wife was chairman judge in a criminal replied Voßkuhle the journalist, and you can imagine that we sometimes one or the other to discuss the case. " And smiled for the first time

Oscar Makes The Team Leader

admin — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:48:15 +0000

From Björn stallion, Cottbus
He umgarnt his party critics and attacked the Grand Coalition: The first of United Left Party Oskar Lafontaine demonstrated above all - without it is received by the new party nothing.
Cottbus - A few pages printed paper with notes on the edge, he does not pay more to himself, as he enters the room. But Oskar Lafontaine celebrated his appearance at the Party of the Left Party in Cottbus. If a moment in the women's group in Sorbian costume, the bread and salt to offer Begrßung ( "This is something Beautiful"), establishes a brotherly arm on the shoulder by Lothar Bisky and leads his co-head unerringly through the rows , Is the head verschwörerisch party with friends, while before him, the cameras click.
This is all about the game, is part of the self-presentation. Just as the moment in which he goes to his seat. It is not easy, but look, mustert considering: A bit too far outside on the course, the Left Party boss well. Schiebt his name tag further inward a little, he is satisfied takes place and says this one sentence: "We are the party of the middle." He made his first joke: The Left Party is a party to the center. But he says it probably even seriously. Links, yes of course, but arrived in the middle of society: elected by the unemployed, Hartz IV recipients as well as from employees and officials, elected in East and West. And the other parties for him anyway are no longer in the middle. "Hartz IV-parties," he blasphemed usually on the CDU, CSU and SPD, FDP and Greens.
It is the first German Party of the Left after the merger of the East German PDS and WASG West in the past year, a meeting after election success in Bremen, Hesse, Lower Saxony and Hamburg and permanent double-digit poll values. And Lafontaine embodies this success. "We have the winds of history in our sails," he calls the delegates. The cheering, he only needs to occur podium. Before he speaks Bisky, a meandering speech, a speech just Bisky, without ups and downs, the paper off. The delegates donate thin applause, they are waiting for the others. The team and his team leader Lafontaine Lafontaine makes it cleverly and slows parteiinterne critics who this weekend could occur at the beginning. Because it's in spite of the success in the Bundestag Group, because the course Lafontaine, and they believe that he does not tolerate other views.
"Stalinist", is such a word, he was so attached by some. "Stalinist" said Lafontaine in Cottbus, everything "hochstilisiert" the left is a democratic party, "we are not a leading figure, we are a team." Who wanted there in the hall Cottbuser not agree? In the sitting room Party Rally represents a team. And forward is the team leader.
"Lafontaine gives expression of our strength," says one berauschte delegates from Baden-Wuerttemberg. Lafontaine told his comrades not much new, but he says it with a verve that nobody else has. The poverty report, a "poverty testimony of Federal Government", "finanzmarktgetriebenen perversion of capitalism", "aggressive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan". And a little bit between Marx and Engels, Horkheimer and Adorno. Under a big thinkers or philosophers, which is not in any dictionary quotes, makes it Lafontaine.
The former SPD chief also spoke about the GDR, and some Altkader in the Left Party, which is still in the state are submerged, perhaps aufgehorcht: Although there are also benefits - Lafontaine praised the health care system - but the GDR was no rule of law, was no democracy ", this is the lesson of history". Lafontaine and Gregor Gysi is expressly provided for in protection. Recent Stasi reports on the parliamentary group leader of the Left Party were haltlos. "These attacks, we firmly," said Lafontaine - Gysi takes the applause of delegates with versteinerter face. Gysi: "This is nonsense and remains nonsense" Laterexpressed Gysi himself to the reports and says Newspaper ONLINE to the accusation that he had not considered in the Stasi acts. "This is nonsense and remains nonsense. My opponent can not make me what I never did."
Cottbus hardly anyone seriously expects that the matter still an issue of the party today. "Gysi has proved that the accusation haltlos," said one delegate from Bavaria. What evidence he believes the man says. That is not much dispute is expected to potential conflict was already weeks before the party defused: This was the communist Sahra Wagenknecht on a candidate for the post of deputy party chairman waived. The dispute is a milliardenschweres investment program was terminated, in which a request dropped, but in parts in the Leitantrag of the Board was incorporated.
critics will probably only indirectly to its chairman Lafontaine executed - by his wife Christa Mueller criticize. Several applications are available to the family spokesperson for the Left Party in Saarland attack. Because they are the crib care of children with the circumcision of girls compared, many are outraged. In a request that her resignation. How important but everyone in the Left Party, Lafontaine sharpens his comrades. On the question "What, you're among the left?" so they should respond: "What, you do not?" Then Lafontaine occurs under the applause of delegates, with a münteferinghaften farewell greeting: "In this sense. Glückauf."
