The Enemies of Democracy Want to Be Lavishly Paid – Lawyer of City Council Chairman Ekkart Günther Submits His InvoiceThat’s how it goes in the best Germany there ever was. This is the new normal. The enemies of democracy send their bills to those who stand up for democracy and transparency. 
As already reported, the Weißenfels city council chairman Ekkart Günther (CDU) succeeded on the second attempt in having the video recording of the city council meeting from November 7, 2024, removed from the internet again. Otherwise, a fine of up to 250,000 euros or six months imprisonment would have been due. Transparency towards his voters apparently does not matter to Ekkart Günther. In the first attempt made by Ekkart Günther together with Mayor Martin Papke, Günther’s lawyer wanted me to sign a cease-and-desist declaration. As a consequence, I would have had to pay 5,000 euros to the CDU city council members plus the lawyer’s fees. However, I did not do that. The CDU city council members want to remain anonymous in the council and not have what they say recorded and published for their voters. Source: public Facebook page of Ekkart Günther As also reported, the district court in Weißenfels did not accept my clarifications during the oral hearing. Judge Baatz refused to summon witnesses. Even Ekkart Günther was not allowed to be questioned to clarify the facts. Günther and his lawyer did not appear at the hearing. Apparently, the judiciary also has no real interest in democracy, transparency, and truth and instead focuses on technicalities. Hostility to Democracy Wants to Be PaidNow it is about the costs of this legal dispute. The district court ruled that the costs of the proceedings should be split 50/50. The court fees amount to 174 euros based on a dispute value of 600 euros.The lawyer of city council chairman Ekkart Günther, Björn Fehse, is now claiming 192.44 euros plus possible additional costs and 5% interest from the date of application. Hostility to democracy wants to be paid, and when fighting against democracy and transparency, every cent counts. The court now has to decide who has to bear these costs and in what proportion. Anyone who is a friend of democracy will certainly find this upsetting. Ekkart Günther probably does not care. I don’t know what it feels like to be elected to the city council by the citizens of Weißenfels and then even to be elected chairman of the city council, only to make it unmistakably clear that you have nothing whatsoever to do with democracy and transparency – and even to take legal action against those who want to ensure transparency. Maybe someone in Ekkart Günther’s circle can find that out. I would be very interested. Call to the Friends of Democracy in BurgenlandkreisHey, there are the comrades of the "Alliance for Diversity and Democracy" in Zeitz and from "Naumburg for All", who like to demonstrate for democracy and so on from time to time. Would they be willing to come to a demonstration in Weißenfels – before the next city council meeting? That would be something, right?Or how about a donation to the bank account below so that I, one of those who defend democracy, can be supported in the fight for democracy?

Unfortunately, there are some enemies of democracy in the district – including the district administrator Götz Ulrich – who certainly try from time to time to restrict press freedom.Author: AI-Translation - Michael Thurm | 27.02.2025 |
