FEDERAL HIGH COURT JUDGES AGAINST CONSTITUTIONAL COMPLAINT
——————————————————
(Ulm, Swabian Lands) - The Federal High Court (FHC), judged against the claim of a cititen that the European Elections Act is unconstitutional.
A plaintiff, who, according to anonymous sources, lost the election to be the European Councillor for Swabian Lands, started a lawsuit on the FHC that Article 1(1) of the Law on European Elections was violating European Law and therefore the Constitution.
The clause in question made the provisons of the Law ln Federal Elections apply in European Elections. Of this Law, Article 2(3), so the plaintiff, violates Section I(I)(e) of the Elected and Accountable Council Act, as this article required each nomination to be either baked from a political party or from 100 citizens.
The plaintiff argued that any citizen should be able to nominate themself without any known support, and so appear on hundreds of thousands of electoral ballots.
The Ministry of the Interior's attorney, representing the Federation, argued back that Section XX of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights protected each citizens democratic rights, and that the Federation may protect these rights, and the rights not be able to be considered in effect if citizens do not have the chance to read the list of candidates.
Whether the plaintiff will take this matter to the European Court of Justice is yet unknown.
