[HIGHLIGHTS] Constitutional Court soon AfD party? Union now denies agreement

Constitutional Court soon AfD party? Union now denies agreement. Ampel and Union want to protect the Federal Constitutional Court.

But there is apparently no agreement yet. A two-thirds majority in the Bundesrat and the Bundestag is required for changes to the Basic Law - so the Union would have to go along. The reason for the considerations is concern about the growing influence of extreme parties in Germany. The CDU and CSU ended initial talks in February with the declaration that they saw no compelling need for the constitutional change.
