德国法官协会向联邦政府发出警告，要求收紧相关法律以防止州政府对检控权的滥用2。这一呼吁背景源于极右翼政党德国选择党(AfD)在9月初赢得萨克森-安哈尔特州选举，并可能首次接管该州政府2。德国法官和检察官担忧该党可能对司法系统进行政治操纵1。
现行德国法律存在重大漏洞。州司法部可以向检察官发布指令，影响个别刑事诉讼的进展，但这些指令目前缺乏有效的文件记录和制约机制2。德国法官协会执行董事Sven Rebehn表示："当前首要任务是防止滥用检控机构进行党派政治目的"2。
历史教训已经敲响警钟。2015年时任联邦司法部长Heiko Maas曾指示联邦检察官撤回一份报告，随后联邦检察官Harald Range被解职2。2019年欧洲法院更是警告，德国检察官缺乏独立性可能危害欧洲逮捕令的有效性2。柏林州检察官Margarete Koppers指出："当法治规则被政治滥用时，法治面临风险"2，并以波兰和匈牙利的经历为鉴戒。德国国内情报机构Verfassungsschutz已将AfD部分派系列为对德国宪政民主秩序的威胁2。
German judges and prosecutors are urging the federal government to strengthen legal protections for prosecutors, citing concerns that the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party could abuse prosecutorial powers if it gains control of state governments.2 The German Judges Association (DRB) has warned that current legislation allows state justice ministries to issue binding directives to prosecutors without adequate safeguards, creating a potential avenue for political manipulation of criminal proceedings.2
The urgency of these concerns intensified following the AfD's decisive electoral victory in early September, positioning the party to assume state government control in Saxony-Anhalt for the first time in its history.2 Sven Rebehn, executive director of the DRB, emphasized that "the primary task now is to prevent the abuse of prosecution authorities for partisan political purposes."2 Berlin prosecutor Margarete Koppers further stressed that "the rule of law faces risks when legal frameworks are exploited for political gain," citing Poland and Hungary as cautionary examples.2 The German domestic intelligence agency (Verfassungsschutz) has already classified certain factions of the AfD as threats to Germany's constitutional democratic order.2
Current German law permits justice ministers to direct prosecutors' actions affecting individual criminal cases, yet these directives lack transparent documentation and effective checks on their exercise.2 Precedent for such concerns exists: in 2015, then-Federal Justice Minister Heiko Maas instructed federal prosecutors to withdraw a report, an incident that contributed to the subsequent dismissal of Federal Prosecutor Harald Range.2 The European Court of Justice similarly warned in 2019 that German prosecutors' lack of institutional independence could undermine the effectiveness of European arrest warrants.2
