The federal government violated the rights of the Bundestag in the refugee crisis

In the refugee crisis of 2015, the federal government twice violated the information rights of the Bundestag. This was determined by the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe on Wednesday after organ lawsuits by the Greens and Left parties. Both procedures concerned the timely briefing of the Bundestag on EU issues, and for the first time specifically in the area of ​​common foreign, security and defense policy. (Az. 2 BvE 3/15 and others)

The Basic Law states that the Parliament is to be informed “comprehensively and as soon as possible” in EU matters. The federal government was of the opinion that special rules apply to this. The complaining factions of the Greens and Left consider this to be problematic.

Specifically, it was once about a draft concept for the now expired EU operation "Sophia" against people smugglers in the Mediterranean, which was only made available to parliamentarians after the decision to use the Council of EU member states.

The second case concerned a letter from the then Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU), which the left-wing faction had requested in vain.
