41. In rejecting the applicant’s argument that his conduct had amounted to the exercise of his right to freedom of expression, the Constitutional Court attributed importance to the nature of the speech on the impugned website. It found that reporting on matters which an employee had learned in general in the course of his or her employment was protected by the Fundamental Law to the extent that those matters were of public interest. In the present case, however, according to the Constitutional Court, the applicant’s speech had concerned information of a professional nature acquired by virtue of his employment at Bank O. and had addressed issues relevant only to a specific profession and not to the public as whole. Therefore, the applicant’s conduct was not protected by the fundamental right of freedom of expression (see paragraph 19 above).
