Franz Mayer has become known to the public as represented by the German Bundestag . Before the Federal Constitutional Court he declared on July 5, 2011 that the complaints in the matter of "aid to Greece" and "euro rescue package" were unfounded. The complainants are invoking a new type of right that has not yet existed, namely a comprehensive basic right to democracy . However, there is no reason for the recognition of such a basic right and the associated expansion of the possibilities for constitutional complaints.
