16,500 euros fine for a man for insulting Söder and Herrmann

After a tirade with nasty insults by the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder and the Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann, a man from Augsburg was sentenced to a fine of 16,500 euros. On Monday, the district court of Augsburg also included an earlier conviction for threats and insults in the sentence. The penalty was therefore relatively high at 300 daily rates of 55 euros.

The 34-year-old immediately admitted the insults to the members of the government and apologized. "It doesn't work," he said in court.

Last December, out of anger about the Corona policy, he sent an e-mail directly to a service e-mail address of the state government and denigrated the two CSU politicians by name. Among other things, he described Söder and Herrmann as “sons of bitches” and “complete idiots”.

Specifically, the mechatronics engineer was concerned with a possible vaccination requirement for the population. At the end of 2021, Söder advocated a general obligation to vaccinate. After the email, Interior Minister Herrmann filed a complaint for insult. Politicians at all levels, from local to federal, have been reporting increasing insults and threats for years.
