I noted this AM....Saxony's Minister of Justice wants to advocate for the abolition of the criminal offense of insulting politicians.
To get the job done....the Conference of Ministers of Justice (national group) is to pass a corresponding resolution next week and present it to the Federal Minister of Justice.
Why?
Well....a couple of months ago....some Germans using social media....called a certain German politician (thin-skinned type)....a liar. More or less....they suggested he promised 'X', and had yet to deliver.
This guy went to the legal system....using current laws, and took the chatty folks (using the word 'liar') into court. Result....guilty....one month's salary taken as the 'fee'.
This has (in the past month) gotten a lot of attention, and even the AfD Party has focused upon this....saying it's not right.
What you can say...presently? You could wish that so-and-so would tell the truth more often, or just wish politicians would avoid talking/BSing. But to call them a liar.....no, that gets you into court-woes.
