Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state parliament debates constitutional reform

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's state parliament is debating a proposed constitutional reform. The reform, supported by SPD, Left, and Green parties, aims to strengthen judicial independence and prevent political blockades. It includes a replacement mechanism for judges at the state constitutional court. CDU, AfD, and FDP parties oppose the reform, which requires a two-thirds majority for passage. Several organizations have urged the CDU to support the changes.
