The President of the Verfassungsgerichtshof (Constitutional Court) in Austria, Christoph Grabenwarter, has warned that the rule of law is under threat. He is advocating for new competencies for the highest court in Austria, specifically the power to publish instances where the government fails to enact a law’s repeal. Currently, if a law is struck down by the Verfassungsgerichtshof, the government is obligated to remove it; however, there is no automatic mechanism to ensure this happens publicly. Grabenwarter believes the Verfassungsgerichtshof should be able to make these non-publication instances transparent. This move, he argues, is vital for upholding the principles of legal certainty and public accountability within Austria. He suggests this would strengthen the court’s role in overseeing the government’s legislative actions and safeguarding the constitutional framework of Austria. The President’s statement underscores growing concerns about potential governmental overreach and a need for robust checks and balances.
