Helmut Siekmann asks for more respect for the Federal Constitutional Court (Börsen-Zeitung)

In an opinion piece in the German financial daily "Börsen-Zeitung", Prof. Helmut Siekmann calls for more respect for the Federal Constitutional Court. In his view, the public reaction to the judgment regarding the bond purchase program of the Eruopean Central Bank (ECB) revealed shortcmoings.

Siekmann argues that the Federal Constitutional Court deserves respect even if it has decided inappropriately according to many critics. Therefore, in Siekmann's opinion, it is essential that other constitutional organs protect the Federal Constitutional Court.
