Meanwhile, it is therefore an “affair of state”. As such, some media described the debate over the controversial Erdogan poem by Jan Böhmermann.
One and a half weeks have passed since that the 35-year-old in his satirical late-night talk show “Neo Magazine Royale” in a text called “defamatory” about the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan duke. He acted himself a rebuke from Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and the investigation the Prosecution. And the case also affects
Now Mathias Döpfner -. Head of a leading media company in Europe – taken for Böhmermann party. “I would like, Mr. Böhmermann precaution connect all your formulations and abuse content fully and adopt Curling in any legal form,” writes CEO of Axel Springer ( “image”, “WeltN24″) in an open letter , “I find your poem succeeded. I laughed out loud, “confesses Döpfner – and declared:”. That was your poem tasteless, crude and offensive, was yes – if I have understood correctly – the whole point “
Böhmermann had the poem presented entitled “defamatory” on March 31 in the digital channel ZDFneo – and previously expressly indicated that such a thing is not allowed in Germany. The occasion was Erdogan’s protest against a comparatively harmless satire contribution of NDR television program “Extra 3″. Böhmermann joked that he wanted to tell Mr Erdogan times a practical example of what is covered in Germany by the satirical freedom and what is not.
“In Germany a kind of national crisis broke out, just because you Mr Erdogan as have called “goat fuckers”, “Döpfner wrote in his open letter in the” Welt am Sonntag “. “A work of art,” says the head of the media company, which is usually locates in the more conservative spectrum. The editorial of the current “mirror” comes to a similar conclusion: “And of course Bohemian Manns was post any abusive criticism, but the game with her.”
One other interpretation follows the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung”. “One can criticize Erdogan for good reasons, also with the means of satire. But by calling him as sodomites, saying only something about themselves. They want to be the one who dares to say something. One is the Good, the insulted the evil. That’s puberty, not humor, and certainly not policy, “the author says Friederike main.
And Böhmermann itself? From him was nothing more to hear the weekend. Already on Friday night he made himself scarce when the festive gala for the coveted Grimme TV prices in the Westphalian Marl decency. In absence he received the Grimme Award for his satire on the middle finger of the former Greek finance minister Giani Varoufakis – the so-called Varoufake action Böhmermann had caused quite a stir already in March 2015
to be present even without personally. , Böhmermann was in Marl the star of the evening. Finally, put the German Adult Education Association as a founder of the Grimme prices then go one better: Böhmermann also got the “special ceremony” – for his contribution to the development of television in the digital world. That assessment coincided with the debate over the controversial Erdogan poem was random.
“This poem has certainly violated the boundaries of good taste and is sure anything but grim-award-worthy,” said DVV -Präsidentin Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (CDU), which is also the Saarland Prime Minister, firmly. But that does not alter Böhmer’s qualities and benefits of an open, bold and democratically-based media world, she stressed. “That’s why this award is earned.”
