Mi interessa cosa pensano i tedeschi di questa legge. L’articolo 188 dello StGB afferma che le persone coinvolte nella vita politica sono protette (quando si tratta di calunnie e altre cose non ne sono sicuro). I tedeschi lo considerano un bene o un male?
Per chiarire questo, non so fino a che punto ciò si applichi, quindi sentitevi liberi di informarmi se sbaglio.

you are misrepresenting what the law states and the poll is stupid
Why should it be ok to insult anyone?
# Strafgesetzbuch (StGB)
# § 188 Gegen Personen des politischen Lebens gerichtete Beleidigung, üble Nachrede und Verleumdung
(1) Wird gegen eine im politischen Leben des Volkes stehende Person öffentlich, in einer Versammlung oder durch Verbreiten eines Inhalts (§ 11 Absatz 3) eine Beleidigung (§ 185) aus Beweggründen begangen, die mit der Stellung des Beleidigten im öffentlichen Leben zusammenhängen, und ist die Tat geeignet, sein öffentliches Wirken erheblich zu erschweren, so ist die Strafe Freiheitsstrafe bis zu drei Jahren oder Geldstrafe. Das politische Leben des Volkes reicht bis hin zur kommunalen Ebene.
(2) Unter den gleichen Voraussetzungen wird eine üble Nachrede (§ 186) mit Freiheitsstrafe von drei Monaten bis zu fünf Jahren und eine Verleumdung (§ 187) mit Freiheitsstrafe von sechs Monaten bis zu fünf Jahren bestraft.
The idea is to prevent people esp. those on the volunteer municipal level to be targeted for their work and beeing pushed out of politics.
I don’t consider it a good thing to treat politicians differently when it comes to verbal insults in form of memes or texts. It further worsens the already eroding trust of many in governmental institutions.
There already is a law against insulting people, this law is just a very transparent way of the ruling class to ascertain their position above the filth of the population 🤮
Insulting people in Germany is an offense in general. This particular law only applies this to further protect people who are especially exposed. I support it.
To clarify: abolishing this rule does not mean people get to insult politicians without fear of consequence. It will still be a misdemeanor as insult (Beleidigung). Sec. 188 StGB makes two important distinctions:
* The misdemeanor will be prosecuted even when the victim does not press charges.
* The maximum punishment is three years in prison instead of two (however, it is extremely rare that punishments get anywhere close to this upper limit anyway).
I have a suspicion the people polled were not made aware of this.
There is a difference between Straftat and Ordnungswidrigkeit. I think this should be an Ordnungswidrigkeit in most cases, but if it is pronounced with the intention to lead a campaign against local politicians and make them quit their job, I’m fine with Straftatbestand.
