public authority. In this specific case, however, the selection decision must be repeated due to a procedural error, the Erfurt Labour Court has now ruled (Ref.: 3 Ca 2030\/24, judgement of 20.02.2025).<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The applicant had applied for a job as a clerk at the Thuringian State Administration Office. After an initially positive response, he was nevertheless refused employment with reference to his party membership. The Labour Court assumed in principle that the State Administration Office was entitled to have doubts about his loyalty to the constitution and thus his suitability for public service in accordance with Article 33(2) of the Basic Law due to his membership and activity for the AfD in the district council. The basis for this is the assessment from the constitution protection report of the Free State of Thuringia, according to which the Thuringia state association of the AfD is to be regarded as a \u201eproven right-wing extremist endeavour against the free democratic basic order\u201c. However, as the court is of the opinion that the applicant should have been given the opportunity to comment on the doubts regarding his loyalty to the constitution, the selection decision must be repeated.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>This decision, which is not yet legally binding, shows that employers can base doubts about the suitability of applicants on membership of a secured right-wing extremist party or a mandate for this party within the scope of their discretionary powers of judgement. However, such circumstances must then be clarified promptly and introduced into the application procedure. According to the case law of the Federal Labour Court, applicants must be given the opportunity to make a statement during the application process in order to dispel any doubts about their suitability. Authorities should therefore react in good time if there are any indications of a lack of loyalty to the constitution in order to ensure a legally secure procedure. The sources that employers can use for this (questions or statements in the application procedure or internet searches) must be assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the guidelines of the labour courts and data protection regulations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60834364 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"60834364\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28acbeb9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"28acbeb9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1500530f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1500530f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>DOMBERT<\/b> Lawyers <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b38f592 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b38f592\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1f567b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"d1f567b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d37729f elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget-tablet_extra__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile_extra__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d37729f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our work covers all legal issues and conflicts in which the state, municipalities or authorities are involved.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b4bac49 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1b4bac49\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57c49c3e elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"57c49c3e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/dombert.de\/en\/law-firm\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">More about our firm<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fca298e elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"2fca298e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/dombert.de\/en\/#kompetenzen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">More about our expertise<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| Ein AfD-Parteibuch kann die Absage bei der Bewerbung auf eine Stelle in einer Beh\u00f6rde begr\u00fcnden.
