Overview

  • Members of the Berlin House from all five parties began inspecting case files today to review how complaints against a colleague at a Moabit primary school were handled.
  • The file review follows media reports corroborating that the teacher who made false accusations against Oziel Inácio-Stech allegedly consumed drugs over several years.
  • Education Senator Katharina Günther-Wünsch will be questioned on her delayed acknowledgment of a December 2024 nine-page brief detailing months of homophobic bullying and suspected drug use.
  • A Green Party motion to censure the senator for misstatements about when she read the lawyer’s letter was rejected by a parliamentary majority last week.
  • Despite complaints lodged since May 2023, neither school nor Senate authorities have disciplined the accused teacher, prompting renewed calls for an independent complaints office.
