Peter Gauweiler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Gauweiler (born June 22, 1949 in Munich, Bavaria) is a German politician, and a member of Bavaria's Christian Social Union (CSU) in the German Bundestag. Since 2006, Gauweiler is the Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Foreign cultural and educational policies of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the German Bundestag. From 1990 to 1994, he was Bavarian State Minister for Regional Development and Environment.
In 2008, Gauweiler challenged the German ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon, claiming the treaty unconstitutional. Gauweiler launched a similar challenge to the European Constitution in 2005, but after its failure the Constitutional Court made no ruling and a presidential signature was never given.[1][2]
