René Springer wrote that the verdict against the state parliament member Wilko Möller shatters his trust in the judiciary. The Federal Court of Justice confirmed Möller's conviction; due to an election poster where parents formed a protective roof with their arms over three children, a fine of 11,600 euros and a criminal record were imposed.
