The legal exchange between the association “Mensch Umwelt Tierschutz” (Animal Protection Association) and Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) continues. The group would like to make sure that it is mentioned specifically in the forecasts and forecasts on the eve of the state elections in Brandenburg on September 22nd, and also the day after. This should happen if the party gets at least two percent of the vote. The animal protection group has filed an application for a temporary injunction before the Berlin Administrative Court. FAZ has received the application.
In the 2019 state election, the Animal Welfare Association won 2.6 percent, but did not give its own architect on election night. This was different recently in the European elections. Two cartoons were shown there by ARD broadcasters; small groups are shown in the second picture. However, there is no 5 percent threshold in European elections, so smaller parties are still important for mandates. According to the Animal Protection Association, it was revealed separately when the preliminary official final results were presented in the most recent state elections in Hesse; However, this is due to an interim order issued by the Frankfurt Administrative Court.
Under no circumstances, return to “others”
Under no circumstances does he want the Brandenburg Animal Protection Society to disappear back into the “Other” tree. Until now, parties have been given their own bar if they have at least three percent or are already represented in the state parliament: This explains why, on election night in Thuringia, the FDP was mentioned all along with a fraction a, stronger “Free voters” but not.
The animal protection group explained that if they were mentioned, it would be easier for him to attract new members and collect donations. “Even parties that do not exceed the limit of 5 percent are important for political competition,” he said. It is also indicated that a party participates in state funding from as little as a percentage of the result. In May 2023, the Supreme Administrative Court of Berlin-Brandenburg ruled in favor of the animal protection group: it achieved a “respectable success” in the 2019 election. The obligation to provide a separate mention is only a minor interference with editorial freedom RBB. According to the court, the interference only affects “the more technical question of the presentation of the (possible) election results”.
In addition, the fact that many groups say that two charts will have to be shown one after the other is not a big burden for the television company. The court was not convinced by the objection that the predictions on election night did not properly mention minority groups. The corresponding predictions after the last European elections have been very accurate. Predictions on election night are also more accurate than “Sunday questions” between elections due to larger samples.
Meanwhile, the FDP had to accept defeat
However, these opinions from the judgment have not yet become legally binding as RBB has filed a lawsuit against them. Therefore, the animal protection group is clearly asking for an urgent procedure. In the recent state elections in Hesse, infrast dimap correctly predicted the result of the Animal Welfare Party at 1.5 percent with a forecast of 6 p.m. This should also be done in Brandenburg, say animal rights activists, who expect more than two percent in Brandenburg.
Meanwhile, the FDP had to accept a temporary defeat in terms of visibility: its attempt to receive an invitation to the program “rbb24 – Your Choice: Candidate Check” planned for September 17, 2024 failed because the administrative court in Potsdam refused corresponding fit. an urgent application written by the FDP state party in Brandenburg. RBB reported this on Thursday. The court based its decision on the plan of the system, in which the top candidates of those parties “currently represented in the Brandenburg state parliament, and the top candidates of those parties that are usually more than five percent- un in opinion polls. ” they called. The FDP does not meet both requirements. His country’s leader, Zyon Braun, said they wanted to check further steps. For him, the disinvitation remains a “scandal”.
