Catastrophically wrong’: German court declares regional lockdown UNCONSTITUTIONAL in ‘politically explosive’ decision

From RT:

A German district court has declared a strict lockdown imposed by the government of the central state of Thuringia last spring unconstitutional, as it acquitted a person accused of violating it.

A trivial case about a man violating strict German lockdown rules by celebrating a birthday with his friends has ended up in a decision the German media described as “politically explosive.” A district court in the city of Weimar did not just acquit the defendant but also stated that the authorities themselves breached Germany’s basic law.

Thuringia’s spring lockdown was a “catastrophically wrong political decision with dramatic consequences for almost all areas of people’s lives,” the court said, justifying its decision. It particularly condemned a restriction limiting private gatherings to the members of one household and one person outside of it.

It was this regulation that a local man violated by hosting a party attended by his seven friends. Yet, the judge said that the regional government itself violated the “inviolably guaranteed human dignity” secured by Article 1 of the German basic law in the first place by imposing such restrictions.

According to the court, the government lacked sufficient legal grounds to impose the restrictions since there was no “epidemic situation of national importance” at that time and the health system was at no risk of collapsing as the Robert Koch Institute reported that the Covid-19 reproduction number had fallen below 1. The judge also ruled that the regional government had no right to introduce such far-reaching measures at all since it was up to lawmakers to do so.

 

Although the victorious person who’s birthday party is was at the heart of what could be a game changing decision was not named, we suspect it was connected to the events in the video below.

We wish him, whoever it was, a hearty congratulations and we hope that the German court’s decision will mean freedom for germans, and not a crushing blow to the judge by a leftist government more determined to impose central planning than establish equality and constitutional law.

  1. All it takes is for people to start fighting back by using the law, we have to do all we can in the courts, the left knows that once the court decisions start falling our way their time is over. They will still try to use violence to enforce their will but we can’t until we can prove it is the left that is breaking the law. By doing it this way we stand a slim chance of preserving several of the important portions of Western Civilization starting with the rule of law.

  2. What a very german “birthday party”! Inn keeper’s rights.. hospitality rules.. it’s all so damn legalistic.
    Germany has some things going for it, but overall I’m glad I don’t live there.
