Circles: Frank to go to the Constitutional Court
According to dpa information, Attorney General Peter Frank is to succeed Peter Müller as a judge at the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe. The CSU and CDU have agreed on this, the German Press Agency learned on Thursday. The SPD-led federal states still have to discuss the appointment. The Bundesrat would have to confirm the candidate with a two-thirds majority. The next meeting is on Friday.
The CSU has the right of nomination due to a current agreement between the governing and opposition parties. Previously, former Bavarian Justice Minister Winfried Bausback (CSU) had long been considered.
The CSU and CDU have nominated Attorney General Peter Frank, citing his expertise in justice matters, for the vacant position at the Federal Constitutional Court. However, his personal details, such as age and education, have not been publicly disclosed yet.
