Overview

  • Education Senator Katharina Günther-Wünsch acknowledged on June 20 that she received Oziel Inácio-Stech’s December 4, 2024, complaint—revising her earlier statement that she first read it in May 2025.
  • She issued a formal apology in the Berlin House of Representatives for providing misleading information about the timing of the teacher’s discrimination complaint.
  • The Greens’ motion of censure over her false statements failed to gain majority support as CDU and SPD deputies voted against it and the AfD abstained.
  • The case centers on allegations that Oziel Inácio-Stech, a Carl-Bolle-Grundschule educator, endured months of harassment and insults because of his homosexuality.
  • Lawmakers are set to review education administration files on the complaint to inform further parliamentary oversight.
