Böhmermann video remains in the ZDF “poison cabinet” – SPIEGEL ONLINE

Jan Böhmer’s “libelous poem” remains cleared. ZDF turns in a statement to the desire of some of his editors: “It is the good law of the editor committee, to represent that opinion but ZDF maintains its decision not to distribute the controversial ‘libelous poem’ because the passage. not the quality requirements and regulations of the ZDF corresponds. ”

The editor of ZDF Committee had distribute in Mainz on Thursday morning on the internal mail a letter in all offices of the ZDF headquarters am Lerchenberg.

“We would appreciate it if the ‘defamatory’ would be brought into the library from the poison cabinet. As a document of contemporary history”, writes the Panel. Not only Böhmermann, also in the “now-show”, the “institution” or “great” – a satire format Investigativsendung “Frontal 21″ – politicians would notoriously tackled so hard that they might be offended, it said ,

of contemporary society would have to be also like bitter satire. The stations have undoubtedly achieved a great success: “. A ZDF program moves Government and replaced a legal seminar program mission accomplished”, says the letter. The price, however, was a ZDF-guide, “the partially anticipatory obedience is said” and ZDF editors, the detached films from the library would take. “Was it really worth it?”

The case Böhmermann had led to uncertainty among program makers. have over the quality standards against which Böhmer’s breach poem, and the question of how far satire could go on ZDF, the editorial representatives therefore wish to start a discussion with the “leaders of the house”.

At the latest next week, the discussion will probably out anyway: For Tuesday of the editor committee has invited in Mainz to the meeting. However, the title of the event, “We are not political activists” is unintentionally used: When the invitation was sent, there was not even the case Böhmermann. It was supposed to go to Pegida, the AFD and Frauke Petry. “Morning Magazine” presenter Dunja Hayali is sitting on the podium, the ZDF-house counsel Benno Shepherd to talk about “human rights, press law, guidelines”.

ZDF program director Norbert Himmler had on Friday before the extinction of the Bohemian’s “Neo Magazine Royale “broadcast from the library arranged after lawyers ZDF had come to the conclusion that it was in Bohemian’s poem about the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to prohibited abusive criticism.

ZDF director Thomas Bellut had publicly justified the cancellation order, which corresponds Satire “not the ideas that we have on the program.” However, the stations stand by Böhmermann and Satire in ZDF. Erdogan has placed a complaint against Böhmermann through his lawyer and asked him to issue a cease and desist – Böhmer’s lawyer Christian Schertz granted this request, however, a rejection.
