Left-Wing Attack on the Bürgerstimme and Me: Eric Stehr (Die Linke) Doubles Down in the Fight Against Freedom of the Press and Democracy


There was mail from the Regional Court in Halle (Saale). The lawyer for the left-wing, that is, the non-right-wing, that is, the wrong-headed Eric Stehr (Die Linke), who is gearing up to seek election to the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, has had an application for injunctive relief filed with the court.



Anyone Voting for Anti-Democrats Should Know What They Are Bringing Home

Anyone who has so far been undecided about where to cast their vote on September 6, 2026, might want to consider whether they really want to give their vote to a young, dynamic, self-proclaimed anti-fascist poster-boy anti-democrat — and thereby declare themselves an anti-democrat as well.

Visible on Every Street Lamp – Invisible to Independent Media

Eric Stehr (Die Linke), a self-proclaimed anti-fascist, vaccine zealot who would apparently even have demonstrators protesting against the government shot because they simply refused to get vaccinated against this common cold virus, had instructed his lawyer to enforce his self-declared right to invisibility against the Bürgerstimme, or rather against me.

He does not actually want to be invisible. He is quite fond of sporting conspicuously colored hair and can currently be admired on numerous street lamps because he would very much like to enter the state parliament as a candidate for Die Linke.

Celebrating One's Own Visibility – Fighting Other People's Coverage

So his desire for invisibility apparently applies rather to independent media that do not shower him with praise.

Diversity and Tolerance – But Only According to His Own Rules

At some point, Eric Stehr apparently came out as one of those many genders. Diversity and tolerance are supposedly important to him — at least he appears to be part of that wonderful LGBTQ movement that explicitly places great value on being visible and expressing one's own views publicly. Yet Eric Stehr (Die Linke) apparently draws clear boundaries when it comes to who is allowed to make him visible. And his diversity and tolerance evidently run out very quickly.

€6,500 at Risk: Who Can Still Afford Freedom of the Press?

I now have to find a lawyer to represent me before the Regional Court. By the end of September at the latest, we will see where the judiciary in Saxony-Anhalt stands on freedom of the press, freedom of expression, and artistic freedom.

I am therefore calling for donations to defend against this attack on democracy and freedom of the press. I call it an attack because the costs could amount to more than €6,500 — for whoever loses the case.

Not a Mistake, but an Attack on the Very Existence of the Bürgerstimme

It can certainly be assumed that Eric Stehr knows this. He wants to go down this road and presumably expects to prevail. This is not a mistake; it is a deliberate attempt to place a considerable financial burden on me in order to force this project, the Bürgerstimme, to shut down. This has nothing to do with tolerance and certainly nothing to do with diversity. It is pure, deeply ingrained contempt for freedom of the press, freedom of expression, and consequently democracy.

Since he is presumably aware of the financial risk to himself as well, it may be assumed that there are others behind him who would cover these costs. According to his own presentation on his website, he is merely a student. Is the party “Die Linke” backing him in this matter, or are there other financiers who may be looking to buy influence with him through this?

The Images Have Been Changed – But the Attack Continues

There is no doubt that Eric Stehr, together with his lawyer from Düsseldorf, is determined to pursue this. An out-of-court settlement could have been reached beforehand easily and without any costs whatsoever, without a lawyer. The images he objected to have already been replaced. From now on, Eric Stehr of Die Linke will only be depicted in ways that cannot be challenged. But apparently that is not enough for the Left-wing politician.

CDU at the Local Court Level – Die Linke Goes Straight to the Regional Court

While the anti-democrats of the CDU — District Administrator Götz Ulrich and Weißenfels City Council Chairman Ekkart Günther — confined themselves to administrative acts that were unlawful and disputes involving amounts in controversy at the level of the Local Court, the little-known left-wing Eric Stehr, who supposedly wants to remain unknown, is really piling it on.

Preaching Democracy, Suing Critics?

The party Die Linke, which constantly parades the mantra of protecting democracy, is putting forward a candidate for the state election who is doing the exact opposite of what democracy is all about. Hypocrisy that even outdoes the CDU.

September 6 Will Bring the Reckoning at the Ballot Box

On September 6, 2026, we will see how many people in the Burgenland district are willing to give their vote to this brave, anti-fascist, thoroughly committed anti-democrat and his party — and think it is a great idea for such an enemy of democracy to have influence over state legislation.

Democracy Needs Protection – But From Whom?

Democracy needs protection! Definitely! Protection from people like Eric Stehr (Die Linke).

A Democracy Without a Free Press Is Nothing More Than a Facade

A democracy does not need court reporters, cheerleading media, and certainly not politicians who can order up their own feel-good coverage. A democracy needs journalists who poke their fingers into the wound, ask questions, get on people's nerves, and look wherever those in power would rather they did not.

Anyone who only approves of an independent press when it reports favorably on them has either failed to understand the principle of freedom of the press — or has understood it perfectly well and considers it dangerous precisely for that reason.

Freedom of the press is not a political request show. It does not apply only to media outlets one happens to like. It applies precisely to those that are uncomfortable, provocative, contradictory, and disruptive to the political establishment's flattering self-image.

Anyone who tries to silence a critical journalist through a lawyer does not stand for an open and tolerant democracy. A democracy in which politicians themselves get to decide what may be published about them is not a strong democracy. And the Bürgerstimme certainly will not apologize for being inconvenient.
