By Andreas Klamm Sabaot, journalist and news correspondent
Karlsruhe / Berlin. 10. February 2010. In its ruling on the Hartz 4 - usually the highest power rates reach constitutional court in Germany to the conclusion that the provisions of the Second Social Code (SGB II), which relate to the standard benefit for adults and children who do not meet the constitutional legal entitlement to ensure a decent existence minimum from Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Basic Law in conjunction with Article 20, paragraph 1 of the Basic Law (GG) and -are unconstitutional. In an interview with international media project for human rights, "Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporters described living in Nuremberg, author of "siding Hartz 4 - the untouchables of the nation," Hans-Jürgen Graf, the verdict of the highest constitutional watchdogs in Karlsruhe as an "outstanding performance", also the displeasure der Verfassungs-Richter über den „stümperhaften“ Versuch der Untergrabung menschlicher Würde in Deutschland wahrnehmen lasse.

Hans-Jürgen Graf, Sie waren Vorsitzender der IG PFLEGE und GLAUBE in Nürnberg, engagieren sich sozial seit vielen Jahren für kranke und arme Menschen und sind Gesundheits-Experte als staatlich geprüfter Gesundheits- und Krankenpfleger. Zudem sind Sie Autor des Buches “Abstellgleis – Hartz 4 – die Unberührbaren der Nation”.
Wie bewerten The decision of the Constitutional Court on the Hartz4 control services?
Hans Jürgen Graf: "I can only interpret from an amateur point of view. Secretly hoped actually probably almost every recipient that the government and political leaders a lesson is missed, which should probably dress in back payments for the previous periods. However, most people here confused two different approaches. This lesson would be affected in view of a human-oriented approach, but in a court of law the Senate is rarely spoken and justice.
respect I see the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC), even felt as a prominent decision to the displeasure of the Constitution and the guardian is that here is a fact but very bumbling attempt to undermine human dignity was taken. It is clarified that the determination of sets of rules in labor law must be transparent and understandable and blogs with the name of human dignity. This implies that actually all fall silent, calling for a lowering of the standard rates. However, this reaction would require intelligence. "
from their extensive years of experience, the benefits and, above all, improvements in the face of a decent existence backup created with the minimum of 9 February 2010 announced by the Federal Constitutional Court ruling?
Hans-Jürgen Graf: "If indeed capable, so competent representative bodies for the large number of aid recipients in the following years it would actually now be a simple matter to persuade the legislature to calculate viable rule sets in the SGB II and SGB XII, for the recognition of special and multi-'Bedarfen in individual cases. However, I was among those who are always in such matters examined by the legislature, such as the social organizations and the like, so far only single representatives of which I saw myself as a concerned party who really competent.
the strong influence von Lobbyisten der Wirtschaft dürfen wir natürlich auch nicht vergessen, der nicht nur in Berlin sehr groß ist. Hier habe ich halt wenig Hoffnung. Es müssten sich tatsächlich die Betroffenen selbst organisieren und nun den entsprechenden Druck nach Berlin aufbauen. Doch auch hier sehe ich, aus eigener Erfahrung, wenig Licht am Horizont. Manchmal erschien es mir bei Betroffenen, wie z. B. bei nicht wenigen Usern in Foren wie dem ELO usw., dass man zuhause sitzt und wartet dass Robin Hood vom Himmel fällt.“
Wie sollte, Ihrer Einschätzung nach, jetzt politisch verantwortliches Handeln gestaltet werden ?
Hans-Jürgen Graf: „Handeln in Verbundenheit mit den Betroffenen und . Survey of actual needs, "
need What you estimate the real income rates for social money-earners, which means today Hartz 4 - transfer power receiver called in Nuremberg be a decent Exsitenzssicherungs-minimum to . reach
Hans-Jürgen Graf: "I can tell, since I'm not an economist. However, from my own experience I would welcome a standard rate of 500 € a lot. "
On the part of political and economic prime examples is the acquisition of work-seekers are held," People, you have You are looking for work ... "- but are the many millions of new jobs are not acquisition in Germany. How do you think of the unconditional basic income?
Hans-Jürgen Graf: to suggest, "This constant palaver about the people that there were still enough jobs in Germany, has already become almost unbearable.
They are not bringing the jobs to all working people in need nationwide wage and enough bread. We will not come on time by the unconditional basic income away. It will be necessary and we will get it.
It should of course, the redistribution need of capital, but there is no shortage of rich people that would actually do to help people in their country. However, these proposals from the policy be ignored. I recall here the proposals of the Hamburg shipowner and of those who have signed his appeal to the Merkel government. An unconditional basic income is intended to finance it if I sales and profits of the companies look at the past years. However, it is not wanted by those who apparently do not have their throat enough and their influence in Berlin, I think is great. "
Thank you for the interview.
With the decision have the federal constitutional court that, inter alia: Stay
the existing requirements to a new regulation, which the legislature to 31 to meet December 2010, continue to apply, said the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe in a press release.
announced, the Federal Constitutional Court, the legislature has provided for the Neureglung also entitled to benefits to ensure an unavoidable, permanent and not just one special need for after the paragraph 7 of the Second Social Code (SGB II) for beneficiaries. This applies if, such a claim from the services in accordance with paragraphs 20 and following the Second Social Code (SGB II) nicht erfasst wird, zur Gewährleistung eines Menschen-würdigen Existenz-Minimums, der jedoch „zwingend zu decken sei“.
Bis zur Neuregelung durch den Gesetzgeber ordnete das höchste deutsche Gericht in Karlsruhe an, dass ein solcher Anspruch nach Maßgabe der Urteilsgründe, unmittelbar aus Artikel 1, Absatz 1, Grundgesetz in Verbindung mit Artikel 20, Absatz 1, zu Lasten des Bundes geltend gemacht werden kann.
Folge des Urteils des Bundesverfassungs-Gerichts: Die Hartz 4 – Regelsätze müssen neu berechnet werden, weil diese Verfassungs-widrig sind.
Die Richter des höchsten deutschen Gerichtes haben sehr umfangreiche und wichtige Aspekte zur Erarbeitung ihres on 9 Announced in February 2010 ruling in being considered.
the reasoning of the court ruling in Karlsruhe, which is from the Left politician Gregor Gysi called a "historic verdict", it also says: "The standard payment of 345 € has not been identified in constitutional and orderly way, because of the structural principles of a statistical model has been waived without justification.
The social benefit for children under the age of 14 Age of 207 € does not satisfy the constitutional law because it is derived from the claimed control in the amount of 345 €. In addition, the definition is based on any reasonable Method for determining the subsistence of a child aged under the age of 14 . Age "
The judges came to the conclusion:" The is based in Section 2, paragraph 2 ruleset Ordinance 2005 established set of rules and thus also control power consumption is not relevant to an evaluation of sustainable income and expenditure survey 1998th Because of individual expenditure items were percentage reductions for non-regular performance-related goods and services (such as furs, and Made-gliders) made without, it was clear whether the comparison group (lowest quintile) has ever made such expenditure.
Other expenditure items cuts were made, the principle of which were acceptable to, in the amount not been empirically (eg 15% reduction in the current position). Other expenditure items, as the Section 10 (education), were completely ignored, although it is not been established.
Also ask the extrapolation of the determined for 1998 amounts to 2005 dar. ENVISAGES exemplified by the current pension value a properly anti-scale change while the statistical detection method on net income, consumer behavior and cost of living, setting forth tie after the current pension value to the development of gross wages and -gehälter, den Beitragssatz zur allgemeinen Renten-Versicherung und an einen Nachhaltigkeitsfaktor an. Diese Faktoren weisen aber keinen Bezug zum Existenzminimum auf, bemängelten die Karlsruher Richter.
Die Ermittlung der Regelleistung in Höhe von 311 Euro für in Bedarfsgemeinschaft zusammenlebende Partner genüge nicht den verfassungsrechtlichen Anforderungen, weil sich die Mängel bei der Ermittlung der Regelleistung für Alleinstehende hier fortsetzen, denn sie wurde auf der Basis jener Regelleistung ermittelt, stellten die Richter unter anderem fest.
