Stefan Löw (2018)

Stefan Loew (* 28 August 1990 in Neustadt an der Waldnaab ) is a politician of the AFD and former German policeman . He has been a member of the Bavarian State Parliament since 2018 .

Life

Löw worked as a federal police officer in Bavaria. In 2017, at the age of 27, he was retired as incapacitated . As a reason for his incapacity to work, he cited the local press that he could no longer work with refugees and cited their alleged variety of illnesses. He is a member of the Bavarian AfD . In the Bavarian state elections in 2018 , he ran as a constituency member in the Tirschenreuth district and on list position 3 of the AfD in the Upper Palatinate . Löw moved into the Bavarian state parliament as a member of parliament. Löw is currently a member of the committee for municipal issues, internal security and sport.

Controversy

During the Bavarian state election campaign in 2018, Löw was involved in triggering a police operation when a woman at the AfD information booth allegedly referred to two members as "piglets". Löw then wanted to report the woman and therefore asked her personal details. When the woman refused to inform him of this, Loew wanted to arrest her temporarily ( everyone's arrest ) until the police would arrive, after which there was a tussle with her husband, who called the police. Several advertisements from AfD members followed. These libel and defamation proceedings were dropped a few months later.

After the state election in 2018, the Bavarian state parliament received several complaints about the job title Löws on the ballot paper. Although Löw had already been put into early retirement in 2017, he had "police officer" specified on the ballot paper as his profession. The members of the Legal Affairs Committee saw this as critical, but covered by the law, and rejected the complaints.

Löw caused a scandal in the Bavarian state parliament in July 2020 when he tried to give his provocative speech with a gas mask in a debate . He pointed out the so-called mask requirement . Repeated requests by the State Parliament Vice President Alexander Hold to take off the gas mask had no effect. Hold then withdrew the MP's right to speak and reprimanded him for “improper behavior with the aim of making the state parliament ridiculous”.
