Landtag Politician Ralf Stadler Loses Immunity, Faces Prosecution Over Social Media Post
Political figure Stadler from the AfD party loses the protection given by the political immunity. - AfD Politician Stadler Loses Parliamentary Immunity
Here's the lowdown on what's happening with the Bavarian Landtag's Ralf Stadler, who's found himself in hot water after losing his political immunity:
- Ralf Stadler finds himself in legal trouble after the parliament unanimously agreed to lift his immunity at the recommendation of the Constitutional Committee. The reasons behind the decision remain unclear, as the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office, who requested the removal, hasn't shared any details about the nature of the charges.
- Stadler himself admitted that the matter concerns his social media activities. He shared a post on social media, which he considers legitimate because the information in question was publicly available. The post, shared by a Ukrainian citizen on benefits, detailed their connections.
- Ralf Stadler, a member of the AfD party, has had his fair share of controversies in the past. Previously, his immunity was revoked due to a photo falsification incident involving Landtag President Ilse Aigner (CSU). As a result, he received a penalty order of 60 days and lost his weapons permit, an appeal against which was unsuccessful. Stadler has also been reprimanded several times for disruptive behavior by the Landtag presidency.
Political immunity, a mechanism designed to protect parliamentarians from legal repercussions, now no longer safeguards Stadler. This protective measure, which aims to ensure a free and undisturbed exercise of the mandate, lasts only as long as the parliamentarian is a member. The decision to lift immunity can be made by the parliament itself, as in Stadler's case.
