German Federal Constitutional Court hears AfD lawsuit regarding parliamentary rights

The Federal Constitutional Court is hearing a lawsuit filed by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party concerning the rights and status of its members within the Bundestag. The case centers on whether the party has been unfairly excluded from certain parliamentary roles or committees, a move the AfD claims violates democratic principles. The court's ruling will clarify the extent of parliamentary minority rights and the limits of the majority's power to exclude opposition factions.
