Blick may refer to Gimenez as Judas

*Der Blick* may refer to former FCB player Christian Gimenez as "Judas" without violating the prohibition against discrimination.

Blick is allowed to refer to former FCB player Christian Gimenez as Judas without violating the ban on discrimination. This was the conclusion reached by the Swiss Press Council. The terms Judas and traitor are recognizable as an evaluation and the harsh criticism is permissible within the scope of freedom of comment, according to the Press Council's statement. Furthermore, the Press Council does not see the term Judas as a blanket disparagement of the Jews. Beyond the context of the Bible, it refers to someone who acts unfaithfully towards another. The reason for Blick's choice of words was the footballer's short-term transfer from FCB to the French club Olympique Marseille.
