Due to considerable doubts about the government's proposal for a new Saxon police law, the Greens have submitted their own draft to the state parliament. The minority government made up of the CDU and SPD goes far beyond the limits of what is constitutionally permissible in some areas, said Valentin Lippmann, the Greens' domestic policy spokesperson, in Dresden.
According to the Greens, their draft implements the requirements of the Saxon Constitutional Court of January 2024 from the judicial review proceedings, which the Greens and the Left had requested. There are also two other issues: an improved legal basis for defending against drones, which allows police officers to shoot them down, for example, and a package of measures to combat domestic violence, which, among other things, provides for offenders to be expelled from homes for four weeks instead of two.
