The planned administrative court for Lower Bavaria in Freyung will not come. Bavaria’s Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU) explained this. No agreement was possible with the Free Voters on a necessary change to the law, which is why the project will not be pursued further. Instead, there will be a Bavarian police training facility in Freyung. First had Straubinger Tagblatt and Passauer Neue Presse reported.
Lower Bavaria currently does not have its own administrative court. Proceedings in Lower Bavaria are currently being heard in Regensburg. CSU politicians criticized the Free Voters and accused Hubert Aiwanger’s party of refusing to vote. “The Free Voters have massively broken their word and thus caused considerable damage to the city of Freyung and the entire Bavarian Forest,” said CSU state parliament member Stefan Ebner on Thursday.
The Free Voters, for their part, accuse the CSU of indignation politics. The Free Voters argued for Grafenau instead of Freyung as a location because there was a rail connection there. The CSU has turned a blind eye to this, said FW parliamentary group leader Florian Streibl. The CSU also did not pursue a compromise proposal from his party to locate the administrative court for Lower Bavaria in Deggendorf. There was resistance against Freyung not only from the Free Voters, but also from the judiciary, said Streibl.
