Title: Fighting for Justice: Former Equal Opportunities Officer Takes Legal Action
After an intense initial conciliation hearing at the Erfurt labor court, the legal battle between the city administration and former Equal Opportunities Officer, Witzmann, is far from over. The goal was to explore the possibility of a peaceful resolution, with the city administration hoping for Witzmann's agreement to depart under certain conditions. However, Witzmann is unwilling to leave and is determined to defend her position.
Both parties share one common viewpoint: the ongoing trial is a distraction from the ugliness of the assaults at the theater. Regardless, the accusations fly, with Witzmann's attorney arguing that she was merely attempting to aid victims and fulfill her duties as an Equal Opportunities Officer, which encompassed public relations work. The city administration, on the other hand, asserts that Witzmann's actions were a serious breach of duty, leading to an irrevocable loss of trust.
At this point, a compromise seems unlikely. The legal proceedings will continue on April 12, 2024.
