in Teoria y realidad constitucional , no. 34 , 2014 , 433-446 | ||
The January 14, 2014 the German Federal Constitutional Court ruled different appeals against the decision of the Council of the European Central Bank of 6 September 2012, authorizing the acquisition of certain States public debt in a context of severe economic crisis. The Court considers that such a decision has violated the constitutional identity of Germany and imposes the Government and Parliament on federal active duty to conduct to ensure respect for the constitutional identity. The breach of that duty by such bodies against the decision of the European Central Bank has violated the fundamental right of the appellants to political participation. | ||
