Comic show 800 Euro fine for pensioner: "Banged into the ceiling too often while jumping on the trampoline" Editorial team • 2 hours • 1 minute reading time After a pensioner from Lower Saxony expressed sharp criticism via a contact form from the Foreign Office, he was apparently reported for precisely that. In December 2023, the penal order against the man stated that he had violated Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock's honor. According to the Apollo News portal, he wrote at the time: "Almost the entire nation is feverishly asking itself the question: 'When will Baerbock overcome his/her puberty, when will Baerbock finally grow up?' Some malicious tongues say: never, because she hit the ceiling too often when jumping on the trampoline." 800 Euro fine for defamatory statement against Baerbock in contact form For this he had to pay 40 daily rates of 20 euros each as a fine, a total of around 800 euros. The pensioner, who says he only earns 1,500 euros, was hit "hard" by this amount of money, as he himself reported. However, he intended the text to be satirical. The responsible public prosecutor's office apparently did not reveal who filed the complaint. For data protection reasons, it did not provide the information to Apollo News.
