A German journalist was allowed to call far-right politician a Nazi whore

Alice Widely

One of the leaders of the far-right German party “Alternative for Germany” (ADH) Alice Vidal can be called a Nazi whore. This decision was made by the court of Hamburg, about it reports The Local.

“Well, political correctness in the past. Let’s be incorrect! That Nazi whore” — comedian Christian Ering described the party Congress of ADG, which was attended by Videl.

She filed in court, but that her arguments are not heeded, citing the fact that satire, even excessive, according to German law allowed.

“In wider circles of the German society of ADH is regarded as right or far-right party” — explained to the court the lawfulness of the use of the adjective “Nazi”. As for the word “slut”, it was used because it described a woman, and from the content of the satirical message was clear that this characterization is not true.

In addition, the decision noted that politicians need to be prepared for the fact that they will be fun, and sometimes very hard.

On 31 March another German comedian, Ian Bearman, insulted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan: the court also considered that what he said was satire, because he, the punishment is not subject.
