Resumo Omnilex

The Federal Constitutional Court did not admit a constitutional complaint concerning a planned Bavarian referendum on leaving the Federal Republic. It held in the tenor that, as the Federal Republic is a state based on the constituent power of the German people, the Länder are not masters of the Basic Law and have no room under it for secessionist efforts. Such efforts violate the constitutional order. The decision is final.

Titelzeile

Nichtannahmebeschluss mit Tenorbegründung: Volksabstimmung über den Austritt Bayerns aus der BRD - Sezessionsbestrebungen als Verstoß gegen die verfassungsmäßige Ordnung

Tenor

Die Verfassungsbeschwerde wird nicht zur Entscheidung angenommen.

In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland als auf der verfassungsgebenden Gewalt des deutschen Volkes beruhendem Nationalstaat sind die Länder nicht "Herren des Grundgesetzes". Für Sezessionsbestrebungen einzelner Länder ist unter dem Grundgesetz daher kein Raum. Sie verstoßen gegen die verfassungsmäßige Ordnung.

Diese Entscheidung ist unanfechtbar.

Questão jurídica principal

Whether a state may pursue secession from the Federal Republic of Germany under the Basic Law.

No. The Länder are not 'masters of the Basic Law'; secessionist efforts by a state have no place under the Basic Law and violate the constitutional order.

The Court states that the Federal Republic is a nation-state based on the constituent power of the German people. Against that constitutional structure, a state cannot seek unilateral withdrawal.

Questão jurídica principal

Whether the constitutional complaint should be admitted for decision.

It was not admitted.

Fundamentação extraída

Because the complaint was directed against secessionist efforts that are incompatible with the constitutional order, there was no basis for admitting it.
