(Deutsche Welle) Germany’s Constitutional Court dismissed three complaints initiated by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) challenging German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s refugee policies in 2015.
Judges on the high court unanimously rejected all the cases, which were brought by the AfD’s group in parliament, deeming them to be “inadmissible.”
The cases focused on Merkel’s September 2015 decision to temporarily waive EU rules on migration and allow asylum-seekers to cross Germany’s borders.
The AfD argued that the move violated the right of the Bundestag, the lower house of parliament, to participate. They also said the move violated Germany’s principle of the separation of powers.
