Political party

Daniel Mack joined the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen party in 2005 and was a member of the board of the Main-Kinzig district association of the Greens from 2005 to 2008 . For the state election on January 27, 2008 in Hesse, he was a direct candidate in the constituency Main-Kinzig III and 22nd on the state list of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen. He was the youngest of all candidates for election to the 17th state parliament in Hesse. From 2007 to 2009 Mack was together with Mürvet Öztürk spokesman for the state working group on migration and flight of the Greens in Hesse.

Mack is assigned to the Realo wing of the party and emphasizes the independence of the Greens. He called on the Greens and the FDP to “overcome their mutual dislike in order to make new alliances possible” and advocated the possibility of Jamaica coalitions . Mack was part of the negotiating group of the Hessian Greens on the black-green coalition negotiations with the CDU after the state election on September 18, 2013 and negotiated the field of network policy.

MP

From March 2006 to March 2012 Mack was a member of the district council of the Main-Kinzig-Kreis. In his home district he was deputy chairman of the committee for regional development and demography and deputy chairman of the Greens parliamentary group.

In March 2012 Mack moved to the Hessian state parliament. He succeeded Sarah Sorge , who had been elected head of department in Frankfurt am Main . In the state parliament, Mack was responsible for the topics of network politics and sport. He was a member of the Interior Committee, the Petitions Committee and the Data Protection Sub-Committee. In the election on September 18, 2013 , Mack was not re-elected to the state parliament, so that he left parliament at the end of the election period on January 18, 2014.

Twitter

In September 2011, Mack, as a member of the district council, was asked by the chairman of the Green Group in the Main-Kinzig district not to comment on topics from his point of view on Twitter, otherwise he would have to leave the group's executive committee. As a group with 13 members, they do not want to be perceived only through Daniel Mack's voice. Mack described the fact that the parliamentary group wanted to approve his digital statements beforehand as "Central Committee manner".

On September 4, 2016, he tweeted, based on the result of the AfD in the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2016 , "Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the most stupidly populated state" and caused a shit storm.

"Digital Hessen" concept

On January 21, 2013, Daniel Mack presented the “Digital Hessen” concept he had developed for the Hessian parliamentary group of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen. In it the Greens call for better funding for new regional Internet companies. Universities and business development should cooperate in order to keep talent with their business ideas in Hessen. Fast internet connections would have to be expanded all over the country. The Hessian Greens are also critical of deep packet inspection , network blocking and digital surveillance, advocating a responsible data protection policy, a right to anonymity on the Internet, the “ right to be forgotten ” and more transparency for consumers. Contrary to the excessive collection of data to create customer profiles, the Greens advocate transparent and fair rules. They believe that information technology helps make administrative and government action more transparent and effective. Citizens could be involved constructively.

"Railway incidents"

Confrontation with railway security service

In October 2013, Mack tweeted that rail security staff had attacked an African with a baton during a deployment at Frankfurt Central Station, insulted and attacked him, and that he himself had been insulted by the rail security service with the words "Get out, you nigger". The railway apologized to him. Mack called for violence and insults to be documented. Twitter is ideally suited to make such incidents public. The railway employees filed criminal charges for false suspicion and defamation. In April 2014, the public prosecutor closed the investigation that had been initiated after the loss of his parliamentary immunity, as Mack's statements were covered by freedom of expression. The proceedings against the railway employees were also discontinued because, among other things, the fare dodger himself testified that he had not been mistreated and that witnesses did not confirm Mack's alleged racism. According to the Frankfurter Rundschau, Mack wanted to "continue to show moral courage in comparable cases".

False report from the Bild newspaper

In July 2014, the Bild untruthfully reported that Mack had been checked on a regional train with an expired annual ticket for members of the state parliament on which the year was said to have been scratched off. He responded with a post on his own homepage in which he rejected the allegation. The case against Mack was eventually dropped in return for a payment.

A lawsuit by Mack at the Cologne Regional Court for an injunction against the picture report was successful. Mack's attorney Ralf Höcker criticized above all that the picture editors only mentioned the allegations, but none of the exonerating circumstances. With a judgment of February 25, 2015 (Az .: 28 O 402/14), the Cologne Regional Court confirmed the prohibition that had already been issued by means of an injunction.
