Union and Ampel want to resume discussions about protecting the Constitutional Court. First attempts at talks failed, but now, according to SPIEGEL information, there is a new attempt.

The traffic light coalition shares this concern and is considering changing the constitution. But this requires a two-thirds majority in the Bundestag and Bundesrat - and thus the support of the Union. The fear is that if the largely right-wing extremist party were to get into the position of influencing the court, it would be too late for effective protection.
