German politicians who failed in previous attempts to have courts derail European Union policy filed lawsuits at the country’s top court challenging the European Central Bank’s 1.1 trillion-euro ($1.2 trillion) asset-purchase program.
Three suits were filed over the last six months, according to Michael Allmendinger, a spokesman for the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe. Bernd Lucke, the head of political party ALFA, brought a case in September. Ex-lawmaker Peter Gauweiler said in an e-mailed statement that he also filed a complaint last month.
