Just at the end of last week, SPD candidate Dresden“>Matthias Ecke was seriously injured in an attack in connection with the hanging of election posters. Now there was violence again – again in Dresden.
The Green politician attacked in Dresden on Tuesday evening was Yvonne Mosler. The 47-year-old was traveling with her party colleague Cornelius Sternkopf and two media teams from Deutsche Welle and the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”, the Dresden Greens said.
Mosler and Sternkopf are the two Green Party top candidates for city council in constituency 11 (Gorbitz/Cossebaude). According to the announcement, they ran an information stand with campaign workers at Merianplatz in the Gorbitz district and then made their way to Amalie-Dietrich-Platz to hang up posters there.
Threatened and spat on
The police announced on Tuesday evening that a 47-year-old Green Party politician was attacked by two people while hanging up election posters in Dresden. Shortly afterwards, police officers identified a 24-year-old and a 34-year-old as suspects. A police spokesman did not want to provide any further information about the identity of those attacked at this time. The male attacker pushed the politician aside around 6:50 p.m., insulted and threatened her, it was said. He is also said to have torn down two election posters. According to the information, the 24-year-old woman came over and spat on the politician. The police found the two in close proximity.
The 34-year-old German is being investigated for bodily harm, threats, insults and damage to property and the 24-year-old German is being investigated for bodily harm. Because the two were said to have previously been part of a group from which the Hitler salute was said to have been chanted, they are also being investigated for using the symbols of unconstitutional organizations. Both suspects remained at large, the police spokesman said.
