Federal Justice Minister Marco Buschmann advocates greater protection for the Federal Constitutional Court. Several politicians from the SPD, Greens, Union and FDP have spoken out in favor of changes in the past few days.
Among other things, consideration is being given to anchoring the court's structures in the Basic Law, as these could then only be changed with a two-thirds majority. It is also being discussed whether a third senate with new judges could then be set up to decide on important disputes, especially those involving party politics.
