Helmut has to pay: Satire via Baerbock costs pensioners 800 euros!

Celle, Deutschland - Sensation in Germany! A 66-year-old pensioner from Lower Saxony, known as Helmut K., has made himself a magnet for the accident with a trampoline magnet. The pensioner criticized the German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock in a satirical message and made a sharp allusion to her hobby: "When jumping trampoline, too often," the ceiling banged, "he wrote about the politician. This satirical remark not only brought Helmut K. to the headlines, but also cost it according to Apollo News also a whopping 800 euros.

The Celle District Court saw a serious injury to honor in the humorous statement. Helmut K., who signed his comment with the tongue -in -cheek title "internally emigrated tax slave", assured that everything was just fun. But the judiciary obviously does not understand fun with such comments. As Weltwoche reported, the costs for his joker were amounted to 40 daily rates of 20 euros in addition to around 77 euros. Quite expensive for a pensioner who has to make ends meet with 1,500 euros per month.

does humor judge the right?

The question of whether Ms. Baerbock herself filed the complaint remains unanswered, but the Foreign Ministry said that the Foreign Minister regularly reported criminal insults. This highlights the explosive discussion, in which the insults of politicians keep causing a stir - and the judiciary recently increasingly focused on. Among other things, a similar procedure against a man from Burgpreppach due to the insulting of other politicians, attracted public interest.

In recent years, more than 1,300 procedures for insults from politicians in Germany have been initiated-the number of unreported cases, such as Apollo News reports, should be even higher. The case around Helmut K. shows that real satire can sometimes be an expensive pleasure, especially if it is directed against the political elite. The border between humor and punishable insult remains a narrow ridge - and this trampoline jump has at least financially drafted the ceiling to the pensioner.
