Court Rejects Nius Complaint Over Günther RemarksThe Schleswig-Holstein court denied Nius's urgent motion regarding statements by the minister-president during a January ZDF talk show.
- The Schleswig-Holstein Administrative Court dismissed Nius's request for a preliminary injunction against the state.
- Daniel Günther made critical statements about Nius during the ZDF talk show 'Lanz' in his role as a party politician.
- The court ruled that these comments were not official acts but part of a general political debate.
- Nius's lawyer condemned the ruling as an unrealistic distinction that avoids substantive examination of the alleged defamation.
Who has shot against it? Nius and such portals ... We need to wake up and see that they are our opponents and also the enemies of democracy.— Daniel Günther spoke in the ZDF talk show 'Lanz' about the online portal 'Nius' and its role in the political debate.
