Disabled people can also take full care of the European elections at the end of May. This was decided by the Federal Constitutional Court in an urgent procedure at the request of the opposition parties of the Bundestag, the Greens, the Left and the FDP.
The Federal Constitutional Court had already decided in January that the general election exclusion of mentally or psychologically impaired people is unconstitutional. The Bundestag then decided in March to introduce an inclusive electoral law, which, however, according to the will of the grand coalition, should not yet apply to the European elections on 26 May. To change that, the deputies of Greens, Left and FDP before the Federal Constitutional Court - with success.
