Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - The AfD parliamentary group is taking action against the state parliament and state government before the constitutional court because of the green-black debt policy in the pandemic.
Because of the finding of a natural disaster in October 2020, a lawsuit had been received, the Constitutional Court announced on Monday.
In it, the AfD objects to legislative resolutions of October 14th, which it believes violate the state parliament's budget law.
At that time, the state parliament passed a second supplementary budget with a green-black majority with billions in new debt.
Parliament also agreed to call the corona crisis a natural disaster.
Actually, the country is basically not allowed to take out loans because of the debt brake.
There is, however, an exception for natural disasters.
There is no right to create a disaster, said a spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group of the dpa.
With the supplementary budget, the constitution was endangered and violated.
In addition, the AfD complains that the funds are misappropriated.
With an interim order, the parliamentary group wants to ensure that the country does not take on any further debts.
The Constitutional Court announced that it would give the state government and the state parliament the opportunity to comment on the application as a first step.
