"Chancellor Friedrich Merz defended Constitutional Court nominee Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf amid accusations from the right, calling criticism unobjective and personally insulting, warning of severe media impact."
"Brosius-Gersdorf's nomination halted due to claims of 'ultra-left' views and plagiarism. Her support for abortion rights and mandatory vaccinations raised objections from conservatives."
Friedrich Merz defended Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, the controversial nominee for Germany's Constitutional Court, against severe criticism from the conservative right. Accusations of unsubstantiated plagiarism and portraying her as having 'ultra-left' views caused discord within the governing coalition, primarily driven by objections to her positions on abortion and COVID-19 vaccinations. Brosius-Gersdorf found the media portrayal defamatory and misleading, while Merz highlighted the unobjective nature of recent criticisms. The controversy represents a significant crisis for the young coalition formed only months prior to this conflict.
