criticism

Patrik Müller published an article in Switzerland on Sunday in August 2014 about the Mayor of Baden and then National Councilor Geri Müller . He had chatted with a woman for several months, including sending her naked selfies. The communication took place partly during working hours and at his place of work. Finally, there was also a police operation on the woman. Therefore, in his article, Patrik Müller formulated the suspicion that Geri Müller had abused his office as mayor. The article sparked a media hunt for the politician. Thereupon 18 active and former national and state councilors from seven parties submitted a complaint to the Swiss press council against Switzerland on Sunday . In their opinion, the whole political culture threatens to be damaged if the Geri Müller case catches on. The press council agreed with them, seeing no public interest in a report on the politician's erotic chat relationship. The possible possibility of abuse of office could have been eliminated with sufficient research. The press council found that Switzerland had seriously violated the private and intimate sphere of politician Geri Müller on Sunday . Peter Wanner , publisher ( AZ Medien ) of the newspaper, defended the publication that sexist acts by politicians in offices do not enjoy the protection of privacy. On September 24, 2017, Geri Müller was voted out of office as mayor of Baden, as well as a member of the city council. In 2018, AZ Medien and Geri Müller reached an out-of-court settlement. AZ Medien and Patrik Müller expressed their regret to Geri Müller for the inconvenience he experienced as a result. The parties have agreed not to disclose the details of the agreement. The criminal proceedings initiated by Geri Müller against Patrik Müller were discontinued by the public prosecutor due to the out-of-court settlement.
