Germany is witnessing a series of politically charged incidents, with investigations intensifying across the board. The AfD party conference became a flashpoint as leader Berndt was assaulted, resulting in police probing charges of dangerous bodily harm. The event saw around 10,000 protesters, with law enforcement facing significant resistance. A separate incident saw SPD politician Anna Rasehorn attacked while campaigning, prompting a police investigation linked to potential connections with nearby AfD posters.
The controversial 'Abschiebetickets' campaign by the AfD, deemed 'tasteless' by government officials, has led to accusations of incitement. Flyers resembling airline tickets were distributed to households with migrant backgrounds, drawing public outrage and police scrutiny.
In Hamburg, a CDU office was vandalized with anti-Merz slogans, pointing to possible leftist group involvement. The attacks highlight rising political tensions, as the AfD experiences a surge in support, reaching unprecedented popularity levels. These developments underscore the volatile political climate as authorities navigate the complexities of maintaining order and addressing the roots of these conflicts.
