US EditionGerman Constitutional Court Dismisses BSW’s Complaints over February Election
- Germany's Federal Constitutional Court dismissed two lawsuits by BSW challenging the February 23, 2025 general election result on June 3, 2025.
- BSW narrowly missed the 5 percent threshold required to enter the Bundestag by 9,500 votes and argued the election laws disadvantaged them.
- The party petitioned for a recount and claimed a violation of equal opportunity rights, but the court found their suits inadmissible due to insufficient evidence.
- The court dismissed BSW's claim for priority placement on the ballots, finding the applicant's reasoning about unequal treatment to be unclear and unpersuasive.
- Following the ruling, BSW remains outside parliament, slid further in polls to 3–4 percent, and continues holding seats only in some Eastern German state parliaments.
