AfD complains against the left: Confusion about Bruhn's allegations in court

Stralsund, Deutschland - Today is an exciting day in the courtroom from Stralsund, because at 1 p.m. a lawsuit is dealt with here that could be important for the political landscape in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The district court dealt with an application from the AfD, which is directed against the Linken-Kreisverband Vorpommern-Rügen. The focus is on allegations that left-wing politician Dirk Bruhn has raised and which are vehemently rejected by the AfD MPs. According to [nordkurier.de] (https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/Mecklenburg-Vorpommern/afd-verlich- against-llinke-vores-sverähn- 3676403), it is specifically about that Bruhn claims that his symptoms of Parkinson's hand tremors have been followed up by two AfD politicians.

Bruhn's allegation has not remained without consequences; In April he placed it in a dramatic speech in the state parliament, in which he described the accused AfD members, including Thore Stein and Enrico Schult, as "human assholes". Of course, this has not remained without echo and has triggered a wave of legal disputes. At the Schwerin district court, the AfD MPs failed with a lawsuit against Bruhn, without his presentation being confirmed. The AfD also did not simply be pushed into the corner and defends itself with legal steps against the allegations of the left that were spread on the Internet.

political dispute and legal disputes

The legal disputes about Bruhn's statements show how much the fronts between the political camps are hardened. The conflict has also reached the Rostock District Court, where it is about an explanation of the Rostock district association of the left, which is referred to at Bruhn's allegation. The AfD MPs call for the deletion of this declaration, but are faced with the argument that the authority to complain about the generalized allegations against the entire faction is questionable how questionable is [n-tv.de] (https://www.n-tv.de/regionales/mecklenburg-vorpommern/Afd- VITIMISTRANGNE-LINGE-RINGE-VREIFE-ARTICLE2579842.HTML) reported.

In the current dispute, the AfD underlines that its rights to freedom of expression must be preserved. At the political level, however, it is argued exactly who really endangers freedom of expression in the current situation. The AfD sees itself as a victim of attacks, while there are numerous allegations in the room that apparently adopt a different character. The AfD describes criticism from other political camps, such as the SPD and the Greens

an outlook on the upcoming decisions

Morgen A decision on the AfD MPs' lawsuit against the Left District Association is expected in Rostock, while the Stralsund district court could possibly make a decision on this matter today. These legal disputes not only illustrate the heated political arguments, but also raise the question of how such allegations and complaints should be treated in the future. It is clear that the political argument in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania continues with all its facets, and the judiciary also remains involved in these arguments.

An end of this dispute is hardly in sight, because the fronts seem irreconcilable. The political landscape in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania remains exciting in any case, and it will be interesting to observe how the current situation is evolving and what statements and decisions from the courts will arise.
