At the end of November the Southgerman newspaper in a research open, that several employees of Deutsche Welle (DW) have made anti-Semitic statements. The broadcaster reacted quickly and commissioned two external examiners, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, the former Federal Minister of Justice and anti-Semitism commissioner for NRW, and the Berlin psychologist Ahmad Mansour. They submitted their report on Monday – and DW drew the first conclusions: Intendant Peter Limbourg announced that in five cases procedures for the separation of employees had been initiated, eleven other cases were being examined, and the head of the Arabic editorial office had made his post available. Does that solve the problem?
