Wilfried Peters: New head of the constitution in Brandenburg from July!

Brandenburg, Deutschland - In Brandenburg there is a breath of breath in the protection of the constitution: Wilfried Peters becomes the new head of the institution. He took office on July 14th and follows Jörg Müller, who was released in May. This is reported by the Berliner Zeitung . Interior Minister René Wilke emphasizes that Peters was the "first choice" for this post because of his prudence, his responsibility and his competence.

Peters, who has been Vice President of the Berlin Administrative Court since April 2010 and was previously also a judge in Brandenburg, faces an "exciting and demanding challenge". His first task will be the revision of the Constitutional Protection Act, a topic that has achieved special explosiveness through the dispute over Müller's dismissal. Wilke would like to strengthen confidence in the protection of the constitution and checks possible changes to the legal foundations.

The background of the personnel decision

The background of Müller's release caused by former Interior Minister Katrin Lange (SPD) revolves around the late information about the classification of the Brandenburg AfD as a secure right -wing extremist endeavor. Lange found that Müller did not inform her about the upgrade in time. These inconsistencies led to a political dispute, which ultimately led to a week after Müller's dismissal for a week. The CDU in Brandenburg also raised a long presentation of what the situation complicated.

One of the central questions that should be clarified under Peters' new regime is who should decide on the assessment of important observation objects in the future. The protection of the constitution is in a crucial phase, since the right -wing extremist scene in Germany not only focuses on politics in Brandenburg, but also nationwide.
