I think that need of public outcry to stop such ludicrous infringement of freedom of expression is enough to show where Germany stands.

- carstenhag 6y agoWow, not sure where to begin. Of course it was legal. Of course it is protected by "freedom of speech" or in this case more likely by "freedom of art". But then Erdogan's lawyers found out there's an old German law about insulting other countries' state heads. To make it clear: Insulting is not freedom of speach in Germany. So it does make sense that it had to be checked whether it was an insult of a state head or not. It ended with removing that law because it's stupid.
