In Germany the legal executive branch is “Weisungsgebunden” which mean it follows the lead of the politicians instead of acting on own behalf. Because of this international warrants which come from Germany do not get followed since they can’t be trusted. It would be better to have independent judges but hey it doesn’t lead to a dictatorship and the end of the world directly as propagated everywhere.

maybe not dictatorship but blatant abuse of power by the government.

Judges in Germany are independent and most of the time appointed for life. German state attorneys are not independent. Their warrants are not recognized internationally, not even in the EU in fact.

I think you mean the European Arrest Warrant[1], and you are right that it is not accepted when issued by German prosecuters, because they are not indepepndent[2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Arrest_Warrant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Arrest_Warrant [2] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europ%C3%A4ischer_Haftbefehl#Deutschland https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europ%C3%A4ischer_Haftbefehl#D...

You say these things as if the very frameworks of our country were not under attack. I think it's hard to describe how far beyond our constitution we really are here. Our constitution and especially our institutions are no match for what the right wing is doing.
