Politics - State parliament session on surveillance of extremists and violence
In what is expected to be its last plenary session this year, the Hessian state parliament will debate the surveillance of suspected extremists. The planned adoption of an amendment to the law this Tuesday (11.00 a.m.) in Wiesbaden, shortly before the end of the legislative period, will include the parliament's "G10 Commission". This commission decides behind closed doors on certain surveillance measures by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
According to the planned amendment to the law, the members of the commission will no longer be appointed according to electoral arithmetic keys and party affiliation, but will be elected personally. This would mean that, following the significant rise of the AfD in the state elections in October, a representative of the AfD would not automatically sit on the committee in future. The "G10 Commission" currently consists of six parliamentarians from the CDU, SPD and Greens. The AfD criticizes this plan as undemocratic: "A law is being changed specifically so that the AfD does not get a seat there."
After the plenary debate, the state parliament 's Committee on Internal Affairs (12.00 noon) will discuss the riots on the sidelines of the Bundesliga soccer match between Eintracht Frankfurt and VfB Stuttgart on 25 November, which left more than 200 people injured. The Budget Committee will then discuss Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg (2 p.m.). Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a new operator structure for the airport, forcing German shareholder Fraport out of the business.
