Bückeburg (dpa / lni) - In the dispute over filming in the state parliament, the Lower Saxony State Court has put the lawsuit of the now dissolved AfD group to the files.
The application was withdrawn after the parliamentary group was dissolved and there was no overriding constitutional interest in continuing the proceedings, the court in Bückeburg announced on Monday.
Specifically, the proceedings were directed against a regulation that the Landtag presidium had enacted after the AfD had set up a camera in the back of the plenary hall, with which MPs from the other parliamentary groups were also said to have been filmed.
They feared that their statements could be taken out of context.
Since then, a permit has been required for filming, with the exception of media representatives and selfies.
The AfD parliamentary group leader at the time, Dana Guth, saw her right to the free exercise of mandates and control of the state government because the regulation made it impossible for her to make her own sound and film recordings of the debates of other parliamentary groups and members of the government in the plenary hall and then for them to use your own public relations work.

The Lower Saxony state parliament had declared the AfD parliamentary group to be dissolved after a leadership dispute in September.
The then parliamentary group leader Dana Guth and MPs Stefan Wirtz and Jens Ahrends had previously left the nine-member parliamentary group.
This no longer had the minimum size of seven MPs required for a parliamentary group.
