Karlsruhe decides on expulsion of MP from Hessian AfD parliamentary group
He wants a court ruling that the exclusion from the parliamentary group violates his right as a member of parliament to be able to exercise his mandate unhindered and without disadvantage. However, he had already announced in 2021 that he would not be a member of an AfD parliamentary group again, regardless of the outcome of the proceedings.

The MP is seeking a ruling from the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe, arguing that his exclusion from the Hessian AfD parliamentary group infringes on his right to unhindered parliamentary activity. Despite announcing in 2021 that he would not rejoin the AfD faction, regardless of the court's decision, he has initiated legal proceedings against the exclusion. The case will be considered by judges at the Federal Constitutional Court, which is located in Karlsruhe. If the court finds in favor of the MP, it could have implications for how parliamentary groups manage exclusions in the future. The matter is currently under consideration by the Federal Constitutional Court.
