Welcome to The Land of Free Speech: The case is just one of dozens of proceedings over thousands of online insults against the fake German chancellor.

A German court has ruled that describing Chancellor Friedrich Merz as lying Fritz should be criminally prosecuted out of ’public interest.’

€2,000 Penalty for telling the truth

The court slapped the free speech advocate ‘offender’ with a fine amounting to an average monthly salary, or more than €2,000 ($2,322).

The case is just one of dozens of similar investigations launched by German state police over critical comments posted on Facebook last year.

The prosecution dates back to October 25, when a local police department issued a drone no-fly zone warning ahead of Merz’s visit to the area.

A Lying Clown

What followed was a string of angry comments in which Merz was called a ’lying clown,’ a ’loose talker,’ and a ’lackey,’ according to reports.

The authorities opened 39 initial proceedings under Article 188 of the German Criminal Code.

The Code bans insults against people engaged in public political life if they are likely to significantly impede their public activities. Fifteen cases were eventually dropped due to lack of evidence, the prosecutor’s office said.

Lying Fritz

In the case of ’lying Fritz,’ the court decided in March that the words are likely to incite further negative prejudices or aggression among like-minded individuals.

Asked about the cases at this week’s press conference, a Berlin regime spokesman said he would not comment on the matter ’out of respect for the judiciary.’

German Gulag

Merz, who has said the welfare state is obsolete and has told Germans to work more instead of taking sick leave, was recently named the world’s most unpopular leader in an opinion poll.

Last month, German media reported that his own party was considering dumping the veteran liar due to his record-low approval ratings.

Further fueling concerns about free speech, German regulators are planning to force social media platforms to boost government-approved outlets in algorithms.
