Attorney General "up to 70 years"

AI summary world

The National Commission on Legal Affairs has proposed raising the age limit for the head of the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office from 68 to 70 years. This initiative, which has received approval from both chambers, aims to allow the current Federal Prosecutor General, Stefan Blätter, to remain in office longer. While the initial proposal focuses on Blätter, the commission from the States prefers a broader change, suggesting the age limit be increased for all elected members of the Federal Assembly, excluding Federal Councillors and the Federal Chancellor, to avoid a personalized solution.
