That's because this campaign is about changing that very law. Saying that "this is blatantly illegal" misses the basic point of this proposal being a CHANGE of the law that makes that illegal.

No, it's even worse. This is an attempt to bypass those laws by bringing in a new one at European level, and having that supersede the obnoxious protections in member states' Constitutions (Germany is hardly the only one with such protections).
If this passes, Germany would have to approve of it, which makes your diction a bit wierd.

A country approving a law at a higher instance that changes their existing law is not bypassing anything.
