SonntagsBlick columnist Frank A. Meyer is taking Weltwoche columnist Christoph Mörgeli to court. The charge: Meyer does not want to accept Mörgeli's sharp attack in the column of April 6, 2006 and, with the help of his lawyer, has filed a lawsuit for personal injury. Meyer is demanding 10,000 francs in compensation and the publication of the judgment in Weltwoche and on Mörgeli's website. The justice of the peace hearing is scheduled for May 16, as the Zurich Press Association writes on its website. In his column, Mörgeli had accused Meyer of using Nazi vocabulary in his invocation of the "revolution of the marketists" and was not above drawing a comparison with the "petty bourgeois hatred" of the Germans against world Jewry. Mörgeli is surprised by the complaint, especially that a journalist would want to curtail freedom of expression, and does not give Meyer's complaint a chance.
