CDU Northwest Mecklenburg warns: Danger to the judiciary in Schwerin!

The CDU district association in North West Mecklenburg has expressed concern about the latest developments at the Schwerin Administrative Court, particularly with regard to the emergency decision on the “Jamel rocks the forester 2025” event. This reports Wismar.fm. The district association is of the opinion that these decisions disregard fundamental constitutional principles and particularly questions the relationship between the executive and judiciary in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Thomas Grote, chairman of the CDU Northwest Mecklenburg, has openly expressed concerns about the independence of the judiciary. He criticizes the fact that the court ignores administrative acts from the district and makes decisions before deadlines. This raises the serious question of whether external influences influenced the court's decision. According to Grote, such a situation is a warning signal for democracy.

The importance of judicial independence

The independence of the judiciary is a fundamental principle of the constitutional state and is enshrined in the Basic Law. It protects against abuse of power and ensures that judges are only subject to the law Originalsocial emphasized. A court that ignores danger predictions and abolishes security-related requirements can endanger trust in the rule of law and undermine the separation of powers.

The situation at the administrative courts

But it's not just the decisions in Schwerin that are causing a lot of conversation. The general situation at the administrative courts in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is also tense. Loud Northern Courier The number of new main proceedings received rose to 3,301 in 2023, which corresponds to an increase of 17 percent compared to the previous year. Urgent procedures are particularly affected by this trend, the number of which has increased by 10 percent to 1,002.

The average duration of the procedure is one and a half years; In 849 cases the process even lasted over two years. It is noteworthy that six urgent proceedings took more than two years.

In summary, it can be said that the CDU district association's concerns are based on a broader, worrying development. The independence of the judiciary is at risk while administrative courts are faced with an increase in cases. It remains to be seen how this situation will develop and what measures will be taken to maintain confidence in the independence of the judiciary.
