Desiderius-Erasmus-Stiftung files interim injunction against Dobrindt

Kiswahili

The Desiderius-Erasmus-Stiftung has filed an application for an interim injunction at the Federal Administrative Court in Karlsruhe. It accuses the Federal Ministry of the Interior under Alexander Dobrindt of delay tactics. The foundation has been waiting for its funding for months.

The Desiderius-Erasmus-Stiftung, linked to the AfD, filed an application for an interim injunction in Karlsruhe on Thursday. The reason is the ongoing delay in the payment of its state funds by the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The foundation complains of a "delay tactic" by the authority.

The Foundation Financing Act does not set deadlines for completing the examination process. Following a Federal Constitutional Court ruling that declared previous practices unconstitutional, established party foundations receive around 600 million euros annually. The Desiderius-Erasmus-Stiftung feels disadvantaged.

Erika Steinbach, associated with the foundation, is praised in comments as tough and steadfast. Critics see the behavior of the established parties as cartel-like, excluding new competitors.
