German Interior Ministers Drop Unanimity Rule After AfD Gains

Germany's Interior Ministers' Conference (IMK) voted to abandon its unanimity principle, allowing resolutions to pass with 13 of 16 votes. The change follows AfD electoral gains in state parliaments, likely to prevent the party from blocking federal-state security decisions. This alters the IMK's consensus-based decision-making, potentially enabling faster but more contentious policy outcomes.
