criticism
Critics point out that Langer has never clearly distanced himself from his role in the SED state to this day, especially with regard to his participation in preparatory measures for the internment of dissidents in the fall of 1989 ("Grid 1"). In addition, it is criticized that in the 2009 local election campaign Langer referred positively to his participation in the socialist GDR dictatorship .
