Julian Reichelt commented on X that the federal government is giving development aid to Afghanistan. He wrote polemically in August 2023 that Germany had paid 370 million euros in development aid to the Taliban in the last two years. The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) submitted an application for an interim injunction.

Steinhöfel filed a constitutional complaint on Reichelt's behalf with the Federal Constitutional Court, which withdrew the order. In principle, the state also has to withstand harsh and polemical criticism. The case was referred back to the Court of Appeal and must be reheard there.[2][3]
