In the 5th electoral term (2009–2014) she was a member of the Constitutional, Legal and European Committee.

Controversy

Demand for drug release from 14 years

In 2004, Julia Bonk hit the headlines nationwide for the first time when she demanded the release of illegal drugs from a staggered minimum age of 14 years. She called for cannabis and heroin to be released . In an interview she claimed about heroin: "Heroin is not addictive in its pure form, only when it is mixed". In this context, she stated that she had used drugs herself. The PDS parliamentary group leader in the Saxon state parliament, Peter Porsch , replied that Bonk had overshot the mark with her demand.

Flag exchange campaign for the 2006 World Cup

During the soccer world championship 2006 Bonk and the Junge Linken.PDS called on Saxony to exchange three German flags for a PDS shirt with the inscription “Nazis out of their heads” and a DVD in offices of the party. The offer was justified by the fact that with regard to the National Socialist crimes, the German flag could never be just a football pennant. There was sharp criticism from her party colleagues in the PDS. The parliamentary group leader pointed out that the National Socialists never used black, red and gold . Other party colleagues described her as "uneducated" and "historically blind".

The chairman of the CDU parliamentary group, Fritz Hähle , remarked to the FAZ that anyone calling for Germany's flags to be exchanged for left-wing extremist propaganda material made his anti - constitutional sentiments clear. The CDU MP Günther Schneider asked the public prosecutor to examine the initiation of an investigation against Bonk for the degradation of national symbols .
