no, its not. He exercised his right to not be insulted and slandered - same as if those people would have walked up to him and talked to him directly. Especially if you see the hate that was sprewed at him at every single post, news, update or whatever, i completley understand. This has nothing to do with criticizing someone - Habeck actually has a good track record of sitting down with other people and talking with them, but stuff like death threats. More background here at politico https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-robert-habeck-files-730-hate-crime-charge/ https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-robert-habeck-files-... this were massive attacks leading up to the european election not people unhappy with "Ze Greens". Also, on the "old man calling him an idiot”: << Habeck authorized prosecutors to pursue the case for the insult against him by issuing what in German is known as a "Strafantrag." However, this is different from an individually-submitted criminal complaint to law enforcement authorities known as a "Strafanzeige," and could indicate that law enforcement had first invited or asked Habeck to press the charges. Prosecutors did not specify who had approached who first. So, not Habeck going after him, but simply saying that its ok to pursue the inquiry. << The Bavaria resident is also accused of posting Nazi-era imagery and language earlier in 2024. According to prosecutors, this post may have violated German laws against the incitement of ethnic or religious hatred. Yeah, that "old guy" seems like a real treat and not at all like an asshole right-wing dumbnut. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-greens-habeck-presses-charges-over-online-insult/a-70793557 https://www.dw.com/en/germany-greens-habeck-presses-charges-... The old guy was also not convicted, something the right-wingers found super cool.
