AfD faction against the naming of suspected cases
- Berlin: In the Bundestag, the AfD faction has voted against a motion calling for the government to publish in the “Federal Gazette” the names of people suspected of serious crimes against children and adolescents. The other factions approved the motion.
According to the motion, the names should be published as soon as the public prosecutor’s office has issued an arrest warrant or the indictment has been served. The motion also calls for the creation of a central register for crimes against children and adolescents.
The federal government rejects the motion. She refers, among other things, to the principle of the presumption of innocence. In addition, the publication of such data could lead to prejudice and endanger the affected persons.
The demand for the publication of the names goes back to a case in Lügde (North Rhine-Westphalia), where several men were convicted of sexual abuse of children. It turned out that the accused had been known to the authorities for years.
The Left Party, the Greens and the FDP had jointly submitted the motion. The SPD and the CDU/CSU had also spoken out in favor of the publication of the names.
The AfD faction, on the other hand, argued that the publication of the names would violate the principle of the presumption of innocence. In addition, such a measure would not prevent new acts and would rather stigmatize the affected persons.
