Ja, wir brauchen Migration - etwa wirtschaftlich. Aber mit diesem "Nützlichkeits-Argument" muss man vorsichtig sein, sagt @danaschmalz.bsky.social.

Stellungnahme zur Causa „Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf“

Knapp 300 Rechtswissenschaftler:innen, darunter zahlreiche Professor:innen und ehemalige Richter:innen des BVerfG, kritisieren den Umgang mit Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf.

Die gesamte Stellungnahme gibt es hier:

Zitat: „Dieser Umgang ist geeignet, die Kandidatin, die beteiligten Institutionen und mittelfristig über den Verfall der angemessenen Umgangskultur die gesamte demokratische Ordnung zu beschädigen.“

Thrilled to see the book “A Geopolitical Europe in the Making?” out!

My chapter on “Governing EU Enlargement Through Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism in South-Eastern Europe” shows how preventive counter-terrorism resembles EU state-building strategies in its enlargement policy.

Great to see so many people turn out in Heidelberg to demand the initiation of a party ban of AfD as part of a Germany-wide protest day. The AfD is a threat to German democracy and rule of law and the German state needs to use the lawful means at its disposal to defend itself.
