Court stops AfD employees: Roman throws shadows on a career

Leipzig, Deutschland - A German court has decided that John Hoewer, the author of the controversial novel "Europapowerbrutal", is not approved as a legal trainee. According to of all times, these doubts about his constitutional loyalty in his book and his political past.

The argument of the court is based primarily on passages from Hoewer's novel, which are classified as inhumane. A comparison is particularly criticized in which the figure of the narrator expresses that "pasta and potatoes are delicious", but should not be "prepared together". These and other derogatory statements about migrants and the advocacy of ethnic separation have led to a negative assessment of its constitutional loyalty. The decision states that Hoewer is "not fought in a punishable manner", but an indirect risk to public trust is sufficient to refuse access to him.

political past and its implications

In addition to the content of his novel, Hoewer's political activities also flowed into the evaluation. He was an AfD employee for many years and worked for the citizens' network "one percent" classified as a right -wing extremist before leaving both organizations. However, these organizations were only provided with a negative label by the constitutional protection authorities after leaving the constitutional protection authorities, which also complicated the discussion about its constitutional faithful.

The court decided that law students such as Hoewer have to meet special requirements for the constitutional loyalty. These minimum requirements are stricter than that for admission as a lawyer. A comparable case is that of the right -wing activist Matthias B., whose application for approval was also rejected based on his political activities. His case was last dealt with by the second Senate of the Federal Administrative Court, which underlined the importance of constitutional fidelity for applications . .

response from the publisher

The Jungeuropa Verlag, in which Hoewer published, commented on the events and described it as a "blatant scandal" that endangers the freedom of art in Germany. They argue that this decision negatively affects the climate for authors and artists and put pressure on freedom of expression. The debate about Hoewerm's novel and the judicial decision has already attracted public attention and is in the context of a broader discussion about the limits of art and political correctness.

The case was publicly public by reporting, including by T-Online. However, this platform even sees itself in criticism, since the journalist, who reported on the processes, had come into the line of fire for earlier doxxing research in the past. The original article also contained a wrong picture of another activist who was later exchanged, which further sparked the discussion about journalistic duty of care derStatus.at .
