Sahra Wagenknecht and BSW
Public prosecutor’s office investigated Robert Habeck for defamation
Robert Habeck is said to have said in the 2024 election campaign “inaccessible facts” about Sahra Wagenknecht and her party. A case for the public prosecutor.
Due to alleged defamation of Sahra Wagenknecht and the BSW, the Dresden public prosecutor’s office is investigating the former Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens). According to the criminal complaint, Habeck is said to have expressed “incorrect facts” about the party and its chairperson when the criminal complaint was said to have announced that the public prosecutor said. According to the position of the defense, it was therefore a critical expression permitted under criminal law.
As part of the campaign event of his party on August 30, Habeck gave a speech on August 30 in a cinema in the Saxon state capital, in which the statements were said to have been given. Habeck was Federal Minister at the time, now he is a member of the Bundestag.
“It’s not about insult, but about open lies and defamation for manipulation of the election campaign,” Wagenknecht told Bild. Her party defends herself against Habeck’s claim that the BSW would “have himself paid for his opinion”, “buy voices” on the Internet and “build troll armies,” said Wagenknecht.
