-> Sanctions imposed on recipients of unemployment benefits to enforce their cooperation obligations are in part unconstitutional
The legislature may apply the principle of subsidiarity (Nachranggrundsatz) when granting subsistence benefits designed to ensure a minimum standard of living; in accordance with this principle, such benefits are only granted if persons cannot support themselves by their own means. In addition, the legislature may impose upon those recipients of “unemployment benefits II” (Arbeitslosengeld II) who are fit to work reasonable obligations to cooperate for overcoming their own need, and may impose sanctions by temporarily withholding benefits if recipients violate such obligations. However, in imposing such sanctions, the legislature places an extraordinary burden on the recipients of such benefits; therefore, strict proportionality requirements apply and the legislature’s usually broad margin of appreciation is limited in this area. The longer the provisions have been in force and the better the legislature can thus assess their effects, the less it is permissible for the legislature to base the sanctions regime on assumptions only. Furthermore, if there is a reduction in “unemployment benefits II”, those sanctioned must be able, in a reasonable (zumutbar) manner, to fulfil the conditions for the benefit to be restored.

The credibility of claiming a shortage of skilled employers is inversely proportional to unemployment and the rise in wage levels. In certain fields it can happen that the demand for employees can not cover the supply of jobs. In such a case in a functioning market either the equilibrium price in the form of the wage level would increase. However wages are currently stagnating in much of Europe and the industrialized world. If one is unwilling to pay a reasonable price for a good or service then one can not complain about a shortage at this price. Or employers would resort to training young workers or retraining other workers with a different education.

-> Too few deputies - AFD faction provokes disolution of the Bundestag session
At too late an hour the Bundestag empties - nevertheless, usually further voted. Not so this Thursday. This was due to a request of the AfD.
The AfD provided for a premature end to the Bundestag session on the night of Friday. Before the final decision on an amendment to the Energy Industry Act, the AFD Group questioned Parliament's quorum and then requested a roll-call vote.
In this vote, only 133 parliamentarians voted, which missed the necessary number of 355 MPs. The Bundestag is only quorate if more than half of the 709 members of parliament are present - which is never the case at this hour of the night.
