Key legal question
Whether the applicants had standing to invoke discrimination under Art. 8(2) BV and procedural rights
Extracted holding
They were entitled to complain of discrimination and of violations of procedural guarantees, including the duty to state reasons.
Extracted reasoning
The applicants alleged membership in a protected group under Art. 8(2) BV; party status also gave them standing for due-process complaints, while the lack of a naturalization right did not bar procedural claims.
