Martin Dolzer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Dolzer (born December 23, 1966 in Kiel ) is a German politician ( Die Linke ) and was a member of the Hamburg Parliament from 2015 to 2020 .

Career

After attending school, Dolzer was initially a musician, geriatric nurse and handicapped assistant. From 1999 he studied at the University of Economics and Politics in Hamburg with a degree in social economics / sociology. After that he worked as a member of parliament as well as journalist and was involved in social movements.

In 2010 he published the book “The Turkish-Kurdish Conflict” in Pahl-Rugenstein Verlag. Human rights - peace - democracy in a European country? ”. In it he describes the historical genesis of the conflict and the political developments in Turkey since the state was founded in 1923.

Dolzer has been involved in refugee policy and human rights since 1993.

In the state election in Hamburg in 2015 , he received a mandate in the state parliament through the state list. Dolzer is the spokesman for European policy, peace policy, law and science policy for the Die Linke parliamentary group and chairman of the submission committee. He campaigns for human rights and social equality and takes a position as a journalist, especially in the left-wing daily Junge Welt and also in Neues Deutschland .

Because he was accused of describing a police operation in 2017, in which a police officer reportedly shot a Ghanaian in self-defense , as a possible "racially motivated attempted execution", police chief Ralf Martin Meyer filed a complaint against him. Dolzer then pointed out that he had quoted the subjective impressions of eyewitnesses and that he should have "more clearly rejected the incorrect editorial processing".

The Hamburg public prosecutor closed the investigation in October 2018, the Hamburg police did not raise an objection. The reason for discontinuing the proceedings was, among other things, that Dolzer immediately clarified the matter in an article on Focus-Online. Focus Online quoted Dolzer: “'Eyewitnesses said they couldn't see a self-defense situation. Because the officer was not in great danger from their point of view and Obang AA was visibly drunk and disoriented - and especially because of the break between the shots - they rate the incident as life-threatening misconduct or even a "racially motivated attempted execution." [...] What makes him suspicious is the time interval between the shots that the eyewitnesses told him about, says Dolzer. [...] 'That raises questions'. The left faction is therefore in favor of a complete clarification of the incident. "

The public prosecutor's office assessed that, in accordance with the case law developed for the area of ​​reporting suspicion of criminal offenses, the allegations expressed by witnesses about the police use of Dolzer were allowed to be reproduced, because he had made it clear at the same time that the facts had not been finally clarified and further clarification need.

In October 2018 the European Parliament in Brussels hosted the first “Refugee and Migrants Parliament”, which Dolzer initiated together with MEP Cornelia Ernst (DIE LINKE-GUE / NGL) and the Lampedusa group. At the end of the conference, the participants passed a resolution with numerous concrete demands, such as the stop of deportations, the overcoming of the Dublin system, compliance with the Geneva Refugee Convention and the end of attacks on the dignity of refugees through isolation and accommodation in the inhuman camp system.
