Köhler, dpa and "politics"
said in May 2010 Federal President Horst Köhler at a ceremony for the new President of the Federal Constitutional Court, Andreas Voßkuhle. "The court is not intended as a substitute for politics," The judges could not pick up the citizens and their representatives the task of themselves to think politically, to argue, decide and act. It is striking that political disputes would be discussed fully and more rare. "Whoever wants to achieve something, declare what you want" as a constitutional requirement, and who does not get it, call the Federal Constitutional Court.
So far, really seen and analyzed. The AP, however, expressed their introductory sentence to the relevant message as follows: "Federal President Horst Köhler has called on the policy, key decisions left to be not so common to the Federal Constitutional Court" (After SZ 'online 14/05/2010 ) Here the word "politics". an entirely different meaning in the sentences Koehler. For Köhler is politics something that can make the citizens and their representatives in the parliaments themselves: policy thinking, arguing, thrash out, decide. The AP is "the politics" a kind of company, so a clearly defined group of people. Just as the train is competent, that trains, "the policy" according to dpa is responsible for ensuring that laws are made and decisions are made. This understanding of politics, the dpa is undemocratic. For as little direct impact on how we can citizens take on the timetables of the train, so we have little direct impact - in the understanding of the AP - on what the company makes policy.
