Berlin's Landgericht has described Correctiv's report on the 2023 Potsdam meeting as 'untrue, inaccurate, and incomplete' in the reasoning for its March ruling. AfD MP Gerrit Huy prevailed on all points in her lawsuit. JF-Online has obtained the full reasoning, intensifying criticism of the research portal.
In a follow-up to the Berlin Regional Court's March 17, 2026, ruling in favor of AfD Bundestag member Gerrit Huy (see prior coverage), the court's detailed reasoning—now public—classifies Correctiv's January 2024 report on the November 2023 Potsdam meeting as 'untrue, inaccurate, and incomplete.' Huy won on all counts in her lawsuit challenging three specific statements about the 'Remigration' discussions.
JF-Online reports that the reasoning delivers clear criticism of Correctiv's journalism, which had portrayed the gathering of right-wing figures (including AfD and CDU politicians) as a 'secret plan against Germany' featuring a 'masterplan for expulsion.' Correctiv editor-in-chief Justus von Daniels had announced an appeal after the initial ruling.
Public reactions, especially in comments on JF-Online, demand consequences for Correctiv and public broadcasters, calling for reviews of their Potsdam coverage. This development contrasts with Correctiv's win in a related Hamburg case.
