⚡️🚨🇩🇪 NEW - Germany just fined a citizen up to a month's income for posting "Lügenfritz" ("Lying Fritz") about Chancellor Friedrich Merz in a Facebook comment.
Politicians love to call themselves the guardians of democracy. But Germany has a special law that gives politicians MORE legal protection from insults than ordinary citizens get. The powerful, shielded from the powerless who criticize them.
Fining people for airing their opinion is how you take free speech away. It makes the government the editor of every sentence you publish.
And here's the kicker: German MPs have "Indemnität", near-total lifelong legal immunity for what they say in parliament. A citizen gets fined for calling the chancellor a liar in a Facebook comment.
