Constitutional complaint as private action: requirement of personal, current, and immediate impact in challenges to state inaction regarding care home residents' protective claims
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe German Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the constitutional complaint, finding that the appellant prevailed no relief as no grounds for acceptance under § 93a Abs. 2 BVerfGG existed. The dispute concerned a challenge to the state's extensive inactivity in fulfilling its protective duties toward residents of care homes, which the appellant alleged violated constitutional rights. The Court held that a constitutional complaint is a procedural remedy exclusively for defending one's own subjective rights and does not function as a "Popularklage" (citizen's action) to challenge general state failures; therefore, the complaint was inadmissible because the appellant failed to demonstrate that they were personally, currently, and immediately affected by the public authority in question.

Testo completo
Nichtannahmebeschluss: Verfassungsbeschwerde kann nicht als "Popularklage" erhoben werden - Zulässigkeit setzt eigene, gegenwärtige und unmittelbare Betroffenheit des Beschwerdeführers voraus - hier: Beschwerde gegen Verletzung staatlicher Schutzpflichten durch "weitgehende Untätigkeit" bzgl Bewohnern von Pflegeheimen
[GRUENDE]
Die Verfassungsbeschwerde ist nicht zur Entscheidung anzunehmen. Annahmegründe im Sinne von § 93a Abs. 2 BVerfGG liegen nicht vor.
Die Verfassungsbeschwerde ist ein Rechtsbehelf zur Verteidigung eigener subjektiver Rechte (vgl. BVerfGE 15, 298 ; 43, 142 ). Weder das Grundgesetz noch das Gesetz über das Bundesverfassungsgericht kennen eine "Popularklage" des Bürgers (vgl. BVerfGE 49, 1 ; 64, 301 ). Zur Zulässigkeit einer Verfassungsbeschwerde gehört vielmehr die schlüssige Behauptung des Beschwerdeführers, dass er selbst, gegenwärtig und unmittelbar durch die öffentliche Gewalt in seinen grundrechtlich geschützten Positionen verletzt ist (vgl. BVerfGE 53, 30 ; 79, 1 ; 102, 197 ; 123, 267 ). Hierzu trägt der Beschwerdeführer nicht einmal ansatzweise vor.
Von einer weiteren Begründung wird nach § 93d Abs. 1 Satz 3 BVerfGG abgesehen.
Diese Entscheidung ist unanfechtbar.
