Onno Hoes, which step down as mayor of Maastricht, has filed for libel and slander. Does such a thing likely? Five questions.
1. The 20-year-old man who cover the images that made PowNed broadcasting brought out, a hidden camera used. Is that just?
Not always. But sometimes the court to determine where the dividing line lies. What weighs heavy, it is the public interest. That Cover politician, does not speak in his favor. Public figures have normally chosen for an existence in which privacy weighs less heavily than fame example.
2. But that is precisely that cover disagrees?
That is more nuanced. In his statement, he reported that a public director “is not outlawed” must be declared. He believes that there is “a certain private property ‘should remain. The wording appears in any case that it assumes that public figures always give up some of their privacy. Therefore, he would ask the judge “in this conflict between private and public to decide.”
3. Where the judge takes into account?
It must weigh a number of fundamental rights. On the one hand there is the freedom of the press, the right of the press to inform and the right of the public to be informed. And on the other hand, there is the right to privacy of Onno Hoes.
4. Cover allows the case review now under criminal law. If he captures bone, he can file a civil case?
He can now already, but his lawyer did in the middle of it is coming from it. Cover has now filed for libel and slander. The use of a hidden camera is not regulated in criminal law. That may happen: There is a bill in the works in which the publication is an offense of images taken using a hidden camera. The record itself would not be punishable.
5. Does that cover for something?
No. He has nothing on it. But the struggle he now wants to enter the courtroom, might force him at his best on an apparent victory. Because his reputation is dented, and his mayoralty he does not get back with them.
