Seven CDU members of the Bundestag in Karlsruhe are now also complaining about the EU's 750 billion euro reconstruction fund.
"We see the budgetary autonomy of the Bundestag guaranteed by the Basic Law restricted in an inadmissible manner," they shared on Friday.
A spokesman for the Federal Constitutional Court said on request that the action associated with an urgent motion had already been filed on Tuesday.
(Az. 2 BvR 693/21)
The judges of the Second Senate announced on Wednesday that they had dismissed an urgent motion for the fund. Until this decision, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier had not been allowed to sign the German ratification law. The judges had overturned this order. The law was signed on Friday. Germany is thus giving the green light for the EU's financing system until 2027, which also includes the fund. Further urgent requests should therefore no longer be of importance.
In its very fundamental decision, the court had already announced that it would examine the fund in detail in a later main proceedings.
This was initiated by an alliance of plaintiffs around the former AfD chairman Bernd Lucke.
Lawsuits from the AfD parliamentary group and a private person are also pending at the court.
The new constitutional complaint comes from the CDU MPs Michael von Abercron, Veronika Bellmann, Hans-Jürgen Irmer, Saskia Ludwig, Sylvia Pantel, Hans-Jürgen Thies and Dietlind Tiemann.
