The Muzzler: Anti-Democrat Eric Stehr (Die Linke) Continues His Brave Fight Against Freedom of the Press and Freedom of the ArtsAs already reported, Eric Stehr had sent a lawyer from Düsseldorf into the fray to issue a cease-and-desist warning to Bürgerstimme, or rather to me. 
Specifically, according to his lawyer, Eric Stehr (Die Linke) took issue with AI-generated images in which his face can be recognized. According to the presentation by his left-wing lawyer Prigge, however, Eric Stehr (Die Linke) does not want to be recognizable because he wants to remain unknown and does not consider himself a public figure. The response to the letter from the left-wing lawyer accordingly pointed out that Stehr's constant public appearances, his publications online, and his candidacy for the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt are unequivocal evidence that Eric Stehr (Die Linke) very much does want to be recognized and wants to be a public figure. Another major sticking point in the cease-and-desist letter was that the left-wing lawyer had not provided proof of his power of attorney. After all, any lawyer could show up, issue some kind of cease-and-desist demand, attach an invoice, and claim to represent someone. The response from left-wing lawyer Prigge followed on 21 August 2026. He referred to a ruling by the Federal Court of Justice according to which he did not have to provide proof of his power of attorney. However, if one looks at this ruling, one finds that it concerned a dispute under competition law. Eric Stehr (Die Linke), on the other hand, is attempting to assert rights to his likeness. As a supplementary cease-and-desist demand, two additional images were objected to. Eric Stehr (Die Linke) had allegedly obtained the rights of use from the photographers and therefore attempted to introduce copyright infringement as a subsequent reason for his action. However, the transfer of a right of use does not entitle someone to issue a cease-and-desist warning for copyright infringement. No evidence of the alleged transfer of the rights of use was provided by left-wing lawyer Prigge. In addition, the use of images published on social media platforms is generally permissible when it occurs in a journalistic context. The question arises as to why left-wing lawyer Prigge, who advertises himself as a specialist lawyer for IT and media law, does not know this. Or is he trying to take advantage of people he thinks are stupid? Don't Vote for Eric Stehr to Protect Him!Just imagine Eric Stehr (Die Linke) actually makes it into the state parliament and even takes the podium to speak. Just imagine some really nasty people turn this into video clips, reels, or memes and spread them across this Internet thing. Would Eric Stehr be able to handle that if he is already taking action against critics because he allegedly wants to remain invisible and unknown?Perhaps the people of Weißenfels should protect Eric Stehr from this and not give him their vote on 6 September 2026. That way, he would not expose himself to the danger of his likeness being published on an even broader scale. Left-Wing Lawyer Prigge Won't Give UpA legally enforceable cease-and-desist declaration continues to be demanded by left-wing lawyer Prigge. However, such a declaration must be addressed to a specific recipient. Since Prigge provided the address of his law firm and Eric Stehr has certainly not moved his residence to this law firm in Düsseldorf, this makes it impossible to submit such a cease-and-desist declaration.But the big question is: Why is the self-proclaimed left-wing anti-fascist Eric Stehr so thin-skinned when it comes to criticism of his public appearances?Since the arguments put forward by his left-wing lawyer are falling flat, from my perspective the only thing left is an attempt to silence Bürgerstimme in an absolutely anti-democratic manner. Eric Stehr (Die Linke), who is always right at the forefront when it comes to diversity and tolerance, is proving that diversity and tolerance are apparently a nightmare for him. He publicly lashes out at critics of the government, allows himself to be depicted on a poster with the slogan “The system is making us poor. Let's change it.”, yet uses precisely this system to try to financially harm an independent media outlet. Anti-Democracy Movement Turns Into a Cross-FrontBy doing so, he joins the company of the much-loved city council chairman Ekkart Günther (CDU), who had legal action taken against the publication of a recording of a city council meeting. With Eric Stehr (Die Linke), the anti-democracy movement in the Burgenland district is now somewhat more broadly based and is forming a cross-front against critical media. Die Linke also claims to be defending “our democracy.” That is, what the established parties understand by their democracy. And in this best-ever Dingensland, defending it also includes trying to financially harm independent media so that they will, if possible, stop criticizing the much-loved leaders and their followers.Anyone Who Appears in Public Is a Public FigureAnyone who enters the public media sphere has to accept that they are a public figure. Anyone who publicly dishes it out at others must also be able to take it publicly. Anyone who cannot handle that should not stand as a candidate in a state election.A true democrat seeks direct contact in order to resolve problems. A true democrat also seeks direct contact with critics. An anti-democrat like Eric Stehr (Die Linke) sends lawyers into the fray to try to financially destroy critics. Eric Stehr (Die Linke) obviously does not have the DNA of a true democrat. Perhaps this is because he enthusiastically had the COVID mRNA substances injected, just as the much-loved leaders of this system demanded. The very system that Eric Stehr (Die Linke) supposedly wants to change. Well then ... um ... The question is, in which direction does Eric Stehr (Die Linke) want to change the system? Will Eric Stehr (Die Linke) Continue His Fight Against Freedom of the Press and Freedom of the Arts?The further question is whether Eric Stehr (Die Linke), given the flimsy arguments put forward by his left-wing lawyer, will leave it at that, bite the bullet, and pay his left-wing lawyer out of his own pocket for this substandard performance. Or whether Stehr nevertheless wants to take the matter to court in an attempt to shift the costs onto me. His fellow campaigner in the local anti-democracy movement, Ekkart Günther (CDU), took his case to court at the time, although he was too cowardly to appear at the oral hearing himself. The result was that Günther had to bear half of the legal and procedural costs himself. Given the amount in dispute of 20,000 euros set by Stehr's left-wing lawyer Prigge, a regional court would probably have jurisdiction. I would also have to hire a lawyer, which would drive up the total costs. Eric Stehr (Die Linke) therefore faces the decision of having to bear the total costs if he loses in court. Those costs would more than double. Or he can simply pay what he has already caused himself by bringing in his left-wing lawyer. If the court were also to order the costs of the proceedings to be divided, the costs Eric Stehr (Die Linke) would have to shoulder would in any case be higher than they are now.For me, this means waiting to see whether Eric Stehr (Die Linke) will continue to pursue his anti-democratic ambitions or whether he will realize that going to a lawyer is not always the most effective course of action. The Hypocrisy of Eric Stehr (Die Linke) on His HomepageOn his homepage, he boldly proclaims: “I am fighting alongside you for cohesion in our region and for opportunities, respect, and a good future for everyone. We need a change in politics that eases the burden on everyone and makes those who have many millions in their bank accounts pay up.”What Is Satire Allowed to Do?So Eric Stehr (Die Linke) already has the usual political talk, the usual blah-blah that we know from the politicians of the established parties. His actions in this case prove that he does not consider himself bound by his own words.His statement is downright grotesque and cynical: “Many from my generation have left. I stayed – and I am fighting to make our Weißenfels region a place worth living in and affordable for everyone again!” With his actions, however, he is trying to take money out of my pocket. Regarding his entry into politics, he writes on his website: “It was the desire to show how detached established politics is and how little it concerns itself with the real problems of ordinary people!” He fails to realize that he himself has already become detached from ordinary people by acting this way. His further statements on his homepage are the exact opposite of what he is attempting here. Author: AI-Translation - Michael Thurm | |
