SVP-Glarner flashes off in court for the second time

He was a “stupid person”, an “infantile fool,” and an “evil, lying profiteer”: With these words, an Aargauer attacked SVP National Councilor Andreas Glarner (57) on Facebook. The higher court in Aarau decided today: He can.

For the second time, the politician has been brought to court with a complaint of defamation against the man. At the end of 2018, the Baden District Court had already ruled that the statements were not defamatory. At least in the context of the fierce discussion on Facebook, in the context of which the insults fell. It was a political context, where the scraps would fly now and then. At the time, the judge also stated that the statements were already at the limit of what was legally tolerable.

Glarner then moved the decision to the next instance – and now lost again, like that “Aargau newspaper” reported. The judges at the higher court also believe that the SVP expert must put up with the harsh words.

SVP National Councilor Glarner repeatedly takes legal action against people who insult him – but he has also been reported several times. The politician has also been right in court. For example, a pensioner who described Glarus as “professional racists” was fined. (LHA)
