Driver door stuck closed

Driver door stuck closed
So my driver side door is stuck closed.
I have no idea why but one day it just didnt open anymore.
I can open the passenger side door. I can lock and unlock the car from the driver side door.
I can also not open the door from the inside.
I read that it occurs more often and that a spring might be broken. But to access all that, my door needs to open first. So I tried to remove the inner door panel without success because it seems to be stuck behind the bose speaker. I have it partly loose and tried to press and pull on a lever that I could see, see attached image red arrow.
Now I am tempted to take my dremel and cut in the side panel to seperate it from the speaker part.
Anyone knows a better solution?
The panel partly loose.
The lever I tried pulling and pushing without succes

No i tried so many thing. Locking and unlocking sounds like its working. I also tried pressing/pulling really hard, unlocking the backdoor a bit, pulling the handdoor cable manually.
