Viewing kiddie porn on an official parliamentary computer — that’s a pretty serious accusation. But the accused is a good socialist, so the whole unfortunate matter will probably be buried quickly and forgotten.

Child pornography raid on Thuringian Linke [Left] Party

Child pornography raid on the Linke Party in the Thuringian state parliament. A member of parliament is said to have been browsing relevant forums using an IP address from the state parliament.

Erfurt

On Tuesday, the police searched the rooms of a Thuringian Linke Party MP on suspicion of possession of child pornography. On the morning of the same day, the Thuringian Justice Committee lifted the politician’s immunity at the request of the Erfurt public prosecutor’s office.

It is unclear which parliamentarian this is. The public prosecutor’s office did not comment on the matter when asked by the Bild newspaper. A spokesman for the parliamentary group concerned told the paper: “There was a confidential meeting. The police are still in the state parliament. We have to wait until our parliamentary group executive committee comments on this.”

Left faction promises cooperation with authorities

Afterwards, the leader of the Left Party, Steffen Dittes, said: “The seriousness of the criminal charges appalls me.” The entire parliamentary group has “guaranteed every support for the investigative work of the public prosecutor’s office and the police” and will continue to do so. He hopes that the judiciary will solve the case “consistently and completely.”

According to the MDR [Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, public broadcaster], the accused is said to have gained access to illegal websites via an IP address belonging to the Thuringian state parliament.

Afterword from the translator:

I’m pretty sure if this had been someone from the AfD, news of it would be blasted and plastered around the world by the international mainstream media, instead of a “by the way” from the German one.

Isn’t it “amazing” how Big Tech and government can censor or shut down anyone with a different opinion, but child-porn sites for pedophiles are something that’s left largely untouched. One wonders, WHY IS THAT? Or maybe one shouldn’t really wonder when one looks at the visitors’ list for “Epstein Island”, now, should one?
