Rarely a politician has squared the fight against hate and Hatespeech so the counterattack as the Federal food Minister Julia Klöckner The Deputy CDU Chairman accused recently on Twitter, the Green party politician Renate Künast, to prepare a breeding ground for "Hatespeech". You could read the tweets even so, as if she had Künast participation in hate speech chalked.

What hate speech means white, of all things, Künast only too well. It is one of the most prominent Pioneers against hate messages on the Internet. Several times she's taken legal action against, for example, clearly misogynist insults and slander. She was always insulted again obscene ("Drecksf...") and, worse, misquoted.

That was "hate speech" – and thus Künasts has current criticism of the policy of the Minister to do nothing. You had only linked to the taz-report with the title "Klöckner for toxic imports," according to the CDU-politician is working for the approval of food imports is particularly dangerous, in the European Union banned pesticides. This Künast had written: "The children do not protect corporations. What is kept with us for toxic, is toxic in the Import.“ Klöckner has so defamed a perfectly legitimate expression of opinion.

Particularly embarrassing is that the Minister has in the matter once again. Unlike you on Twitter in the greatest indignation, claiming that it has used, in fact, actually new rules that could allow for the authorisation of food imports with a particularly harmful pesticides. You defended the statement that the government reviewed applications for import permits for such Goods already, but always have rejected it. On Thursday, the research turned out to taz: There are still no applications, and, therefore, not been decided. Klöckners Central Argument has vanished into thin air.
