Gabriel had on Monday announced to fight for ministerial approval to merge with all legal means. He will go up before the Federal Court to enforce the by the Higher Regional Court (OLG) Dusseldorf stopped ministerial approval. The OLG had expressed the suspicion, Gabriel had been biased. In addition, it was not convinced that securing points at Kaiser’s Tengelmann together of workers’ rights, had connected with Gabriel his special permission, suffice as a reason in the public interest.
“It is understandable that the Economy Minister against OLG decision is going. The court damaged his reputation “, Union Group Vice Michael Fuchs told our newspaper. “I can understand that Gabriel responds. The accusation of bias seems to me excessive.” Gabriel had to hold talks with the Tengelmann buyer Edeka. “One can argue about the reasons for the ministerial approval, but the decision itself was correct,” Fuchs said.
Even the CSU-law expert Hans-Peter Uhl stood behind the ministerial approval. SPD leader Gabriel had rightly decided, said the legal adviser to the CDU / CSU parliamentary group of the “Passauer Neue Presse”. Now the Bundesgerichtshof must provide clarity on the procedure. “A fundamental clarification of this issue is long overdue,” Uhl said. It raises the question whether the legislature may be undermined by the judiciary. “From my perspective, the answer is clear: The Judges may the ministerial approval not stop that.”
