Although there are quite a few former judges, lawyers and law students amongst their ranks, the Bundschuh do not have any judges or a court themselves. Most cases of misconduct and the like are simply dealt with by the chain of command. In some cases the party leader herself decides on disciplinary action or forfeiting membership of the Bundschuh party. However, in some serious cases an official trial takes place with the members of the Central Committee as the judges. Such a trial is about to take place now as Freya enters the Committee’s meeting room.

In the room there is a large U-shaped table with at the open end some extra tables and chairs. Bruchsal’s station guards stand at the door and along the walls with submachine guns. Nika was brought to a table in the middle of the U-shape’s open end. Freya sat down right of her together with another witness. When the doors closed, deputy party leader Jannik Grunwald, at the head of the large table, stood up.

“Genossen, we are gathered here for the trial of Dr. Annika Haupt, Kommandant of the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee, member of the Bundschuhpartei. Genossin Haupt, you stand accused of insubordination, murder of a fellow party member and conspiracy against party leadership…”
