“It is very unfortunate that I am persecuted” – Dagblad de Limburger

             Councillor Christian Petermann from Heerlen is prosecuted for a tweet in which he compared a prosecutor with a camp executioner. On August 8 Petermann must appear in court.
         

         

Petermann had hoped that with the excuses he offered would be off the stocking. Since OM thinks otherwise. “I am very sorry that I am persecuted. I think that both Mrs. Smith and I are benefit if we leave this place. “

Petermann had previously managed to regret his controversial tweet about a prosecutor. He even went on a course to learn to “communicate nonviolent. In an interview with De Limburger he previously know not excited to be: ,, Crybaby play, I do not ”

The only councilor RPN finds that he has passed an oversized border. with his tweet about a prosecutor. In it, he compared her to a camp executioner and wished her dead. It seemed to him to be his avalanche of criticism and a declaration of the Prosecution that will prosecute him. Petermann has already spoken with two detectives.

Looking back on the affair Petermann attracts sackcloth. ,, It’s time for self-reflection, “he says now. ,, I am unwittingly in the spotlight and I do not want to happen again. ” But discussions he can not always control it, he admits. That happened on Twitter and previously also in the political arena of Heerlen. Petermann gets carried away by his emotions. ,, If I see disbelief and injustice, then I reach a boiling point. I lose my temper, “is his defense. ,, It brings out the worst in me over and then I get destructive. “

An obstacle to his political career, he will not. In his tweet about the prosecutor he blames her for sentencing of former alderman Van Rey “cold and businesslike” read out. Also from that passage takes Petermann away. ,, Now I know she was just doing her job. “Petermann saw a few months ago in a political opponent in the City Council a Nazi judge who he called by name. Mayor Ralf Krewinkel called him on the carpet. After making a call Petermann promised these comparisons anymore. Blame his swipe he seeks not to himself. ,, That council member called me a liar. I had never experienced before. He triggered me enormously. Then pounded the entire board, with thirty men on me. “

Hear someone’s home in the city council if he has not yet mastered the political mores after six years? Petermann sees no problem. ,, I hear on the board at home. I’m a sniffer. I wish all to the bottom of. Do not many politicians. It’s why I’m staying. I do not step up, as will a number of Heerlen politicians. “A few do in the greenhouse, that’s a reason to resign, says Petermann. ,, As Heemels did for the PVV “The Heerle In calls the affair” the biggest lesson of my life “and he promises. ,, This was once and never again. It’s over. ”
