Dispute over Bruhn's trembling statements: Court negotiated in Stralsund
Dispute over Bruhn's trembling statements: Court negotiated in Stralsund
In the city of Stralsund, a dispute between the Left Party and the AfD causes excitement. A legal proceedings revolve around allegations that came up during a state parliament. According to the left-wing politician Dirk Bruhn, an AfD MP is said to have had his disease-related tremor. This confrontation bundles emotions and brings the political dynamics in the country again. The Left Party stubbornly rejected the deliberate defamation of Bruhn by the AfD, and demands that these allegations will not be spread again. As the Borkener Zeitung reports not only a local stimulus topic, but also raises questions about freedom of expression on.
The background of this dispute extends until April, when Bruhn described the AfD parliamentarians as "human assholes". A verbal outbreak that brought him an order call and caused a sensation online. The district association of the Left Party in Vorpommern-Rügen shared Bruhn's allegations and then insulted the AfD. This reacted promptly and sees itself threatened by the statements in their reputation. Enrico Schult, an AfD member of the state parliament, sees the possibility of his personal rehabilitation in this argument and complained about emails that described him as inhuman, as in the Nordkurier described .
The role of the dishes
The pronunciations before the Stralsund district court are only the beginning. The negotiation found that the allegations are in the room, but a willful defamation on the part of the district association is not detectable. The court even sought a comparison between the parties, a proposal that the left rejected. The AfD had previously had no success in Schwerin with a lawsuit against Bruhn. In Rostock, a decision on a corresponding lawsuit by the AfD district association is expected on Wednesday, while in Stralsund there is a judgment.
The importance of these legal disputes goes beyond the parties. The conflict also reflects the debate about freedom of expression in Germany. The AfD often argues that its expressions of opinion are endangered by state attacks. But critics from the SPD, the Greens and Union see them as the author of unworthy statements that must not remain unexpectedly in the public discussion, as in the Bundestag
The dispute between the parties has not only legal, but also social relevance. How far does freedom of expression reach and where does the border of the acceptance of insults begin? Bruhn defends his comment as an expression of his perception and is clearly directed against the AfD with his allegations. The question remains: How will this conflict develop and what consequences does he have for the political landscape? In the coming days, it will be shown whether the Stralsund district court will be a judgment or set an appointment for a later announcement. One thing is certain: this process will continue to rummage the waves between the political camps and intensify the discussion about freedom of expression and responsibility.
