The party complained against CSU interior Minister in Karlsruhe, Germany, on Tuesday, the Federal constitutional court’s ruling. With a clear answer: The Federal interior Minister with the Text, and contravene the principle of state neutrality.

In particular, the back should remain on the handle with the office associated resources.
Seehofer was fatal, that the Text with the passages, a good two weeks on the website of his Ministry. The AfD had accused him, therefore, to have state resources improperly for the dissemination of a party political statement used. (Az. 2 BvE 1/19)
Seehofer had a controversial Interview to the AfD 2018 led
The Interview had given Seehofer in September 2018, the dpa. Immediately before the AfD had tried to group in the Bundestag, the budget of the Federal President to discuss.

Seehofer commented in the Interview with the words: “This is for our state highly dangerous.” You can’t “abkanzeln as the President of the Federal Republic”. “The state is catabolic.” In addition, he said: “The take a stand against this state. Because you can say a thousand Times, you are Democrats.“
According to the publication, the Ministry had the Ticker Text to other media reports on his Homepage – a steep template for the AfD. Because the party had complained in a similar case in Karlsruhe and had successfully against the then education Minister Johanna Wanka (CDU).

And that is exactly what is not.“
Seehofer had his parliamentary state Secretary Günter Krings (CDU) represented. This had pointed to the Statements as, admittedly, “the course” means. The tone in politics, but has become significantly rougher. A reaction should be possible.
