GFrei.News reported that Tobias Rausch's open letter addressed an important detail of the BMW affair: If BMW withdrew the leasing offer for the position on the day of Rausch's election as President of the State Parliament, this was a message both to the AfD and to the public. GFrei.News regarded this as political discrimination in the sense of the Basic Law and referred to Article 3, Paragraph 3, Sentence 1, as well as Article 33, Paragraphs 2 and 3. The author noted that these constitutional provisions only obligated legislation, executive power, and jurisdiction, as they represent the people's defensive rights against the state. Nevertheless, behavior in accordance with the Basic Law is a benchmark for moral and civic conduct. Measured against this, BMW, in the view of GFrei.News, behaves not only unconstitutionally but also disgracefully. #BMWAffäre #Grundgesetz #PolitischeDiskriminierung (translated)
