Court dispute: Left defend themselves against AfD allegations in Stralsund!

Stralsund, Deutschland - in Stralsund, a court hearing between representatives of the left and the AfD caused excitement. The dispute revolved around the statements by the left-wing MP Dirk Bruhn, who had accused his AfD colleagues in front of an audience in the state parliament to have his disease-related trembling. This led to a lawsuit by the AfD district association Vorpommern-Rügen, which aims to prevent the repetition of these statements. A concern that the faction did not want to leave. According to the [Borkener Zeitung] (https://www.borkenerzeitung.de/welt/in-ausland/politik-inland/linke-vorwuerfe- against-färkrakt-balsund-in-stralsund-641274.html) Bruhn described the deputies as "human assholes" and received an order call.

The negotiation was not only a personal honor, but also about the fundamental question of freedom of expression. According to the defense, Bruhn's statements are protected by his status as a member. It was argued on the part of the AfD that the support of Bruhn's allegations on the Internet took place. Bruhn's representation also found reversal in a video that went viral and received media attention nationwide. The AfD MP Enrico Schult is particularly affected and speaks of a personal goal of rehabilitation.
is particularly exciting that the court stimulated a comparison between the two parties, a proposal that the left has rejected.

context and meaning of freedom of expression

The debate about this procedure highlights a central element of democracy: freedom of expression. This is guaranteed in Germany by Article 5 of the Basic Law and includes the right to freely express opinions in words, writing and image. According to bpb.de, everyone is entitled to express their views-also in the context of political arguments. However, the limits of freedom of expression must also be observed, especially when it comes to insults and defamation.

In advance, a similar attempt by the AfD failed in May in May when the district court found that Bruhn's statements are polarizing, but are protected by its right to use it. The Stralsund district court will promptly announce whether there is a decision or a announcement date on Wednesday. The negotiations therefore have not only personal, but also far -reaching political dimensions.
