Even Tesla boss Elon Musk commented on the case: AfD politician Marie-Thérèse Kaiser was convicted of incitement to hatred on Tuesday. She had referred to statistics showing a connection between migration and gang rape. Specifically, on the platform "X", she had criticized Hamburg's SPD mayor Peter Tschentscher's call for the "unbureaucratic admission" of local Afghan forces.
She therefore believes that freedom of expression in Germany is in danger. And the judiciary is not independent either - Kaiser speaks of a "threat to the rule of law".
