Decision at the Bonn Labor Court: Ex-professor Ulrike Guérot is subject to a lawsuit

The Labor Court Bonn dismissed the complaint from the former professor Ulrike Guérot against her release. The court rejected the argument that it wanted to interpret the decision politically was misleading. Ulrike Guérot, who was head of the professorship for European politics at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn until last year, complained of her release due to the allegation of "appropriation of foreign intellectual property". Despite the public pressure, which was shown in the form of demonstrations in front of the courthouse, Guérot had to accept the defeat in court.

The demonstrator's body on Bonn Kreuzbergweg supported Guérot with posters, on which slogans such as "Who is silent, is right" and "No more Cancel Culture" were to be read. However, this support did not change the decision of the labor court in relation to the legality of dismissal. Despite the public interest and the expressions of solidarity, Guérot was not able to successfully act against dismissal.

The rejection of the lawsuit by the Labor Court Bonn confirmed the legality of the dismissal of Ulrike Guérot. Despite the public support and pressure from demonstrators, Guérot could not prevent her lawsuit. The court's decision shows that even public resistance does not automatically lead to success politically motivated.

The Situation about the dismissal of Ulrike Guérot shows how well -known personalities of public life can also be confronted with legal disputes. The case underlines the importance of legal processes in labor matters and illustrates that prominent people also apply to the status quo in court. Despite emotional support on the part of the public, Guérot could not undermine the legality of its release.
