P reis question: What does a lawyer do when he or she accompanies clients to a conflict-prone conversation with a high potential for escalation? His duty? Is it fulfilling its role as an organ of justice? Might be.
But in the opinion of the Bremen Left Party, he is primarily causing damage to the State Court, where he served as a judge for a legislative period at the suggestion of the Left and has been listed as a deputy judge since 2023. She has Anatol Anushevsky, Well-known lawyer for migration and social law with a clear anti-fascist profileon Friday he was indirectly asked to resign from his voluntary position. This is the only way the reputation of the highest regional court can be preserved.
In reality, the opposite is true. Because the left-wing faction was alarmed by the reporting Spiegel regarding the local undercover agent affair, which is probably based on information from the secret service. Anuschewski is said to have accompanied a delegation from the Interventionist Left, which has so far only attracted attention in Bremen through almost legalistic actions.
Their goal: to confront a young man from their own ranks with the suspicion that he is serving the Bremen secret service as an informant. Which he then admitted. Without torture, without beatings, even without screaming, in a normal conflict conversation.
The undercover operation revealed that the interventionist left in Bremen is well-behaved
It looks like the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution has been taxing the mentally unstable Kurd for at least eight years – hopefully?! – Rewarded 500 euros per month for support services. They found out that the interventionist left in Bremen is a very good person: they plan their non-violent, civil society actions and every statement, no matter how fartful, in a grassroots democratic way in time-consuming general assemblies.
The Office for the Protection of the Constitution should never have recruited Dîlan S., now 31, as an unofficial employee because of his mental constitution – he was already ill and in need of treatment before the organized disappearance. A critical media interested in the democratic rules of the game should have picked up on this. The fact that the operation was not canceled even though Dîlan S. developed sexual and romantic relationships with the group being spied on should also cause outrage. This is a blatant violation of the law.
But instead he scandalizes Spiegel the pseudo-news that the lawyer and deputy judge of the State Court Anushevsky was present at the said confrontation. They find that he explains that he cannot comment on his role without consultation, as is mandatory in client relationships in the constitutional state Spiegel-Authors particularly bad.
But the Left is in a position to assess the facts: “We assume that he was present in his professional capacity as a lawyer,” said parliamentary group leader Sophia Leonidakis. And she even states that the information about Anuschewski must have come “from the Office for the Protection of the Constitution” itself, which raises questions. Because that means: the state office is out of control.
Morally disoriented anyway, violated It also blithely violates the law and guidelines in the recruitment and management of undercover agents. It undermines civil society engagement, the formation of opinions and thus the free democratic basic order with the help of intelligence services and controlled information sharing.
The head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution would have to resign
The person responsible for this is Thorge Koehler. And actually, if he were a person who loved and respected the rule of law and was even halfway decent, he would have to resign from his position as head of the state office on his own.
Instead of calling on Pannen-Thorge to do this, the Left stated with regard to the State Court judges that they are assuming “that a quick by-election will take place”. In other words: Anuschewski should please resign.
However, it would be better if he didn’t do that. Allowing domestic secret services that are far from democratic to help control the appointment of the state constitutional courts is a nightmare. And pushing this forward, as the left-wing faction is now doing against its better judgment for political reasons, means doing maximum damage to the state court. One that stays.
