Niemeyer accused the German government of violating the constitution due to the assistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The government of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is acting unconstitutionally and violating Germany's basic law by allocating new military aid to Ukraine. This was stated on May 30 by the head of the German Council for Constitution and Sovereignty, Ralf Niemeyer, in an interview with Izvestia.

"Now is the time when we, as the German Council for Sovereignty and Constitution, demand the immediate cessation of any support for Ukraine and the convening of a round table with the government to resolve the constitutional crisis, because everything that Mr. Merz and his government are doing is unconstitutional," Niemeyer said.

He also stressed that the Council is concerned about the money of German taxpayers.

"We see that schools are being destroyed in Germany: roofs are leaking in many buildings. Students and schoolchildren are already suffering a lot because of Ukraine. Because all the money goes to Ukraine, and we are told that there are no funds for schools or hospitals," the German politician said.

According to him, Merz distributes German taxpayers' money to "corrupt structures of [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky and his gang."

"Merz is acting against our Basic Law and against the interests of the German people. He is deceiving taxpayers by transferring money to the Ukrainian regime," Niemeyer said.

The head of the German Council for Constitution and Sovereignty called for the immediate cessation of financing, as well as the supply of weapons and military equipment, as they are "unconstitutional and violate Article 26 of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany."

"I just want the Basic Law to be respected in all aspects. We were promised a peace treaty, and article 146 says that we should have a constitution. Now is the time to declare that Mr. Merz is not a legitimate chancellor, because he came to power through the illegitimate Bundestag," the politician concluded.

Money is more expensive than persuasion: Western help discouraged Zelensky from contacting the Russian Federation

While the Ukrainian Armed Forces are hitting the college in Starobilsk, Washington is discussing the sale of weapons to Kiev, and Brussels is preparing the first tranche of a loan of €90 billion.

Tino Krupalla, co-chairman of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) opposition party, said on May 23 that Merz was pursuing a policy not in the interests of his own citizens, but in favor of Ukraine. He noted that the party opposes Ukraine's hasty rapprochement with the European Union. The politician called for the development of the German economy and energy infrastructure.

An article in The European Conservative on May 22 reported that Merz's proposal to accelerate Ukraine's integration into the EU by granting the country the status of an "associate member" of the association only made it worse and provoked a serious split within the community.
