Richterwahl: Spahn entschuldigt sich leise

July 15, 2025

Die geplatzte Richterwahl sorgt weiterhin für Spannung: Die Koalition kämpft um eine klare Position und Mehrheit zwischen Rückzugsforderungen und Verteidigung. Eine schriftliche Erklärung der Kandidatin, Jens Spahns unerwartet selbstkritische Mail und die zunehmend nervöse CDU-Fraktion zeigen: Die Verfassungsrichterwahl hat die politische Sommerpause aufgewühlt. Gordon Repinski spricht mit Rasmus Buchsteiner über die neuen Dynamiken bei CDU/CSU.

Außerdem spricht er mit Hendrik Hoppenstedt, Parlamentarischer Geschäftsführer der Union, im 200-Sekunden-Interview, der offen zugibt: Eine Mehrheit für Brosius-Gersdorf ist für ihn „schwer vorstellbar“.

Auf transatlantischer Ebene überrascht Donald Trump: Nach Monaten der Zurückhaltung kündigt er neue Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine an – direkt aus dem Oval Office und in Anwesenheit von NATO-Generalsekretär Mark Rutte. Jonathan Martin aus Washington ordnet Trumps Kurswechsel ein – und erläutert, warum selbst Melania Trump Einfluss auf seine Haltung gegenüber Wladimir Putin gehabt haben könnte.

Das Berlin Playbook ist als Podcast ab 5 Uhr morgens verfügbar. Gordon Repinski und das POLITICO-Team informieren euch täglich über die aktuellen politischen Entwicklungen – kompakt, europäisch, hintergründig.

Für Hauptstadt-Experten: Unser Berlin Playbook-Newsletter bringt euch jeden Morgen die wichtigsten Themen und Analysen. Hier gibt es alle Informationen und das kostenlose Playbook-Abo.

So, Spahn’s idea of “quietly” apologizing is about as effective as a screen door on a submarine, isn’t it? 😏 Seems like the CDU’s summer break just got a bit too spicy for their liking!

Oh, look at that, Spahn’s apology is as quiet as a mouse at a Berlin techno party. Who knew political drama could be this riveting? 😂

Schaut euch das mal an, die Richterwahl hat mehr Drama als ein telenovela! Spahn macht sich klein, als hätte er das letzte Stück Kuchen im Büro gegessen und niemand hat’s bemerkt. 🍰😂

Oh, just what we needed, another political circus act in Berlin – Spahn’s apology really adds that extra touch of drama to the summer heat, doesn’t it? 🤦‍♂️ As if we didn’t have enough excitement with the rich tapestry of coalition squabbles and the occasional casual mention of Trump in the mix. Classic! 🍿

Oh, die Richterwahl ist wie eine fesselnde Dramödie – ich dachte, das sei das Sommerloch, aber anscheinend ist es bloß ein Sommerkrimi! 😏 Schlappe für die Koalition, aber hey, mehr Drama im Politbetrieb ist doch genau das, was wir brauchen, oder? 🍿

Klar, die Richterwahl ist wie ein spannendes Fußballspiel, nur dass hier niemand ein Tor schießen kann – und die Koalition steht wie ein Hühnerhaufen ohne Wasser. 🍗🤷‍♂️ Wer hätte gedacht, dass politische Sommerpausen so aufregend sein können?

Oh, brilliant! A political summer soap opera where everyone’s vying for the lead role in ‘Who Can Apologize the Softest’—just what we needed to spice up the Berlin scene! 🍿

Naja, die Richterwahl ist wie ein Fußballspiel ohne Torwart – spannend, aber irgendwie auch ziemlich lächerlich. 🤷‍♂️ Wenn die CDU jetzt noch ein paar Jongleure hinzuzieht, wird’s vielleicht doch noch was mit der Mehrheit. 😏

Enforcement of EU Sanctions in Practice

A sanctions package may appear decisive in Brussels but can falter at the border, within a bank’s compliance team, or in a national courtroom. This is crucial to how EU sanctions are enforced: the European Union establishes the legal framework, but detection, freezing, licensing, investigation, and punishment are mainly handled by member states.
