politics

As a member of the pirate faction

In the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2012 , Stein won a mandate on the state list of the Pirate Party Germany and became a full member of the state parliament's budget and finance committee. He had the mandate until September 22, 2013. Before the plenary session, he was the first pirate to give a speech in the North Rhine-Westphalia state parliament, with which he immediately caused a scandal: He demanded an orderly bankruptcy of WestLB . With regard to the free market economy , it should also be accepted that the savings banks , which cannot go bankrupt by law, can get into financial difficulties in North Rhine-Westphalia. His maiden speech was scientifically investigated at the University of Hohenheim and classified as linguistically almost perfect with a score of 9.6 on a scale from 0 to 10 in terms of clarity and comprehensibility.

After receiving a reminder from the city library himself, he campaigned in 2012 to stop city libraries from sending out reminders on a weekly basis. He considers the previous procedure to be inhuman. He criticized the state government's efficiency team as a "PR gag". In 2013 he was also committed to data protection, for example backing up the patient files left behind in the insolvent and now closed VERAMED clinic. While still in the pirate faction, he and the CDU and FDP filed a complaint with the Constitutional Court in Münster against the state government's zero rate for civil servants' salaries. The lawsuit was later won. On September 22, 2013, he announced his resignation from the pirate faction and has been a non-attached MP since then. In an interview with Der Spiegel, he criticized a lack of transparency and the faction's left-wing course. In February 2014, he finally resigned from the party.

As a non-attached member of the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia

During his time as a non-attached MP from September 22, 2013 to November 16, 2014, Stein had proposed changing the font for the country's printed matter to Garamond, which should achieve an annual budget saving of 15 million euros and criticized the state government for its lack of it Controlling. He also campaigned against the controversial method of fracking in his hometown. He feared fracking could be introduced through the back door.

As a member of the CDU parliamentary group in North Rhine-Westphalia

Stein has been a member of the CDU district association Hamm since November 17, 2014. The following day he joined the CDU parliamentary group in the state parliament, in which he was a full member of the New Year's Eve 2015 parliamentary committee, the budget and finance committee, the WestLB parliamentary committee, the personnel subcommittee, the state operations and special assets subcommittee, and the commission of inquiry on public financing options Passenger traffic in North Rhine-Westphalia is in context.

Stein was an expert on digital politics for the CDU parliamentary group in North Rhine-Westphalia and is committed to promoting start-ups. When the red-green state government intended to provide millions for the start-up scene at universities, Stein complained that the funding should be invested without having analyzed the initial situation. Minister Svenja Schulze was unable to answer his small question to the Minister of Economic Affairs regarding the current size of the start-up scene at universities, as the ministry did not have any information. He is also in favor of more digital educational content and new media in schools.

As a digital politician, he demanded a digital license plate for drones and spoke out against the introduction of a drone license at RTL. He repeatedly criticized the state government Kraft, z. For example, for spending too much on an online portal, or for Interior Minister Ralf Jäger for his behavior after the incidents on New Year's Eve 2015 in Cologne .

In May 2015, Stein drew attention to the increasing crime through threat and libel crimes through a small inquiry. As a result, he advocated the establishment of specialty public prosecutor's offices, also known as the “Facebook police”, in the fight against hate speech on the Internet. He is also committed to creating a digital counter-terrorism competence center. He fears that, like in Brussels, no-go areas will develop in North Rhine-Westphalia that terrorists could use as retreats.

Because the state government refused to hand over documents regarding the efficiency team to all MPs, Stein and ten other MPs sued the Constitutional Court in Münster. In a small inquiry from October 2016, Stein warned of the dangers posed by the increasing networking of critical infrastructure areas. Without suitable protective measures, these sensitive systems are easy prey for criminals, said Stein at Westpol. Stein also represented this opinion as an expert of the CDU parliamentary group in North Rhine-Westphalia in the WDR broadcast one to one - conversation from Düsseldorf, on the subject of "Attacks on the networks - how endangered is the digital world".
