Closure of legal actions related to debt matters
The Constitutional Court of Baden-Württemberg has announced the discontinuation of proceedings regarding a legal challenge by the FDP state parliament faction against a billion-euro financial package proposed by the federal government.
The challenge, made in an expedited procedure, aimed to prevent Baden-Württemberg from approving new debt rules in the Bundesrat. However, the court previously rejected the urgent application on 20 March, and the main proceedings have now been dismissed (Case No.: 1 GR 16/25).
The financial package, which has successfully passed through both the Bundestag and the Bundesrat, was initially challenged by the FDP faction but has ultimately been approved. The FDP faction withdrew its application, but no further information about the reasons for the withdrawal was provided.
The financial package, intended for defense and infrastructure, passed the Bundesrat on 21 March. The location of the state parliament is Stuttgart, where the proceedings took place.
