- dschuler 6y agoAccording to the one law in this link (German law §90 StGB), offending the president of Germany carries a penalty of anywhere from 3 months to 5 years prison. This can even apply in private matters. Speaking of Austria, blasphemy laws still apply there and were upheld by an EU court when challenged two years ago [1].
